Nice! One thing about the RSVP, it has a section where you can specify the number of "Wife or kids" you are bringing. Probably could be reworded to something more neutral. Congrats on your anniversary!

Updated the website :+1:

I’ve got a different format - timeline style: https://www.09092018.com Let me know if anyone wants me to open source this :)

You got married the day after me and my Wife did. :)

Congrats, internet stranger, wishes of a long and happy life to you both!

Thanks for sharing. I just got married and did my own site - I forgot how time consuming even a regular HTML / CSS static site could be when you have a million other things going on - I would have loved to have used this.

I got married last month and thought about doing a site for a while (I just may still make one just for her sake with all the wedding pictures) but being a full-time web developer I knew it wouldn't just be slap on some pictures and HTML/CSS. I cannot tell you how many times I've struggled with CSS or JS and I use both daily! They're painful lessons, sometimes too easy to forget when you leave the front-end.

Cool idea, but: why wouldn't you use the ISO-standard, and properly sortable, format: yyyy-mm-dd??

I just went to my old wedding domain name to see if it was still up (www.paulandtessa.com) and it turns out another couple bought it for their wedding next February. Amazingly, they are from the same city as us (Long Beach). I'm not sure what the chances of that happening considering anyone in the world could have bought it. It's a good thing I didn't renew the domain name so that someone else could enjoy it for thei…

great story. highly unlikely coincidence. same names and wedding at the same city. domain names can have different easy to remember permutations and there are different top level domains so it's likely the couple would've registered something similar. overall good advice on not keeping it permanent, although I could understand some people turning it into a family business or something.

Heh, rent our domain for $5 a month! Or, buy the homepage, just send us pictures and captions, and pick one of our templates... Would probably work best for highly common name combinations.
