Nice! As a serial-startup-dev and someone with experience in the industry (wife and I run a successful wedding biz) I'm always stoked to see people do compelling things in the space. I think there are TONS of awesome things to do with for-wedding sites that no one's really getting right, and you guys look well poised to set a good example. FWIW, I'd test a landing page that makes the theme preview a bit more forward.

Sorry, but the name is very close to obitaury, not sure whether it rhymes (weduary is made up word, and fine otherwise).

Interesting - I can't tell by looking at it whether or not it supports same-sex weddings. It'd also be cool to be able to tour the site without signing in through Facebook, especially if your SO is unaware that you're thinking of proposing :)

  It does. You can be groom and groom as far as I can see.

Remember this is the same person that created a video explaining how to cut two $60 Apple power cables to make an extremely dangerous, electrically unsafe $120 jump rope. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_w9e1uWg8fM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_w9e1uWg8fM

  That is hilarious. Seriously this is the kind of thing I would have tried when I was 8 before my dad caught me and and asked "What are you, fucking stupid or something?"

  In all fairness, the non-transformer part of a cord is pretty cheap.

  I can't believe someone at Kleiner funded this. Although I am not in the target demographic for Martha Stewart meets tech, the quality of the video content being put out by her "production company" is truly awful.

As a groom myself, I'll echo the problem statement. Definitely a space that needs some innovation, but other than pretty designs, not sure this really rethinks a wedding website much. Still seeing a lot of links, for example. I applaud the effort and hope to see more on this in the future, though once I'm married, I'll never have the need to build one again. Maybe as a guest, though...

This woman is obsessed with weddings (especially her own.) She's a Miss Havisham.
