Good choice in marrying the girl, but just dating Polymer. I wouldn't wed myself to Polymer, considering how fickle Google is. Nice job on the site and best wishes to you and your bride.

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.

Great job! I created my own website with Bootstrap and a couple of hours, but it does not look half as good as yours. One idea I had was to create a template wedding website service. There are a few out there, but I think the idea can be done better.

Want to know what happens when your server goes down? 600 angry bridezillas. No thanks

Agreed. Also, for being around for more than a year, Polymer is still way behind Android native material components that they claim to emulate. For example, why can't I swipe between the tabs on this website just like an Android ViewPager?

Static sites hosted on s3? Low risk of an outage, could be worth the risk
