I absolutely loved this concept. I was surprised to some extent that this rubygem name is still available. Appreciated !!

This is awesome! However, 95% of my guests would be soo confused and we probably would receive a lot of phone calls/emails asking helpdesk questions.

"How does this work" "So we tried the website and we wanted to let you know we will be coming..."

But all the geek will love it :). Its a real gem, so you can install it. Its the best way to invite other hacker friends. I hope there is no hackathon on wedding. :)

I'm amazed at how well this works, in a WebView container no less, on my iPhone! Cool concept, too :)

I thought you had made a fantastic pun there for a second... Then realized what you really said.

"It's a real gem."

Should be hell of a coincidence. Joined HackerNews today, and found a friend posting his wedding invitation on it.

Great concept.. :)

Each time I see web-based terminal with *nix-looking shell prompt inside it ends up like this:

    ...
    Successfully installed wedding-0.0.1
    7 gems installed
    root@wedding ~$ which wedding
    which is not a valid command
    root@wedding ~$ whoami
    whoami is not a valid command
    root@wedding ~$ id -a
    id is not a valid command
    root@wedding ~$ uname -a
    uname is not a valid command
    root@wedding ~$ ls -la
    -bash: cd: -la: No such file or directory
    root@wedding ~$ logout
    logout is not a valid command

(closes tab)
