OP, your site does not show anything without JavaScript. Is there some feature that needs JS on the page or why is it so?

Yes unfortunately JavaScript is required. Instead of using I opted for paper invitations in the mail as a fallback.

That does not answer my question. Is there a feature that absolutely needs JS on the page? If so, what is it?

I think you're missing the point. Of course there's nothing this site can't do without JS. It's a side project to learn a new framework.

Something about the way the borders around the photos shrink while scrolling bugs me. I guess it feels a little akin to how the paintings change in the Disney land/world Haunted Mansions. It's not horrible, but I'm not sure what your intention with the effect was supposed to be.

That said, Congratulations, on the wedding and the website.

Yeah I used Polymer on a production site a year ago. The amount of Google components I had to fork and edit to make them work correctly in all the browsers I had to support was maddening. I think many of the issues I ran into have been addressed but it just soured me on the whole thing (especially since I was never able to get vulcanize to work properly on our mildly complex projext; it had major issues). Site looks…

I might recommend you check out React Standalone if you're interested in Web Components but want to use something familiar (if you're familiar with React that is!). I'm using it right now so I can build an SDK that works both "natively" in a React environment and in vanilla JS + Angular, etc.

That looks pretty interesting. I've done web components manually which were a little awkward but for someone using React this looks compelling. I haven't dived into it much but I'll look into it when I do. Thanks!
