I’ve got a different format - timeline style:

https://www.09092018.com

Let me know if anyone wants me to open source this :)

I love your wedding date. 09 + 09 = 18. It's beautiful. I know I'll probably get downvoted for a "Reddit-style" comment but it's worth it.

Nice job with the design/layout... that is a great way to present it. Also, nice move with the red envelope request, cash is _way_ better than useless wedding gifts.

I totally agree with this, but my wife and her mother insisted on registering for gifts, because "some people prefer to give gifts". We hardly use the stuff we got and half of it is still in the box at her mother's house, because we don't have room for it.

It would be awesome if you could open source this!

It's already, IMO you hadn't paid attention to the Title of Post.

Getting ready to plan a wedding after double digit year dating -- The timeline approach is brilliant, thanks for sharing!

Nice! Kudos for doing it at your own pace. There’s so much societal pressure to “shit or get off the pot” when it comes to putting a ring on it.

I love what the OP did, and I really love this too. Great spin on the traditional wedding site.

I'm curious, have you seen anything similar on other "site builders" like Squarespace?

very nice timeline, I'm curious to see how the sources look like! That kind of page could be easily templated, with something like a yaml file describing the content, and what ever being to generate the static website!

Ha! The wedding was just around the corner from where I live. It's a small world, love seeing Australians on HN :)

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

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

This is a beautifully designed site. It manages to tell a coherent narrative in such an engaging way. It’s lovely!

It made me smile to see your wedding venue. It’s a lovely place.

Nice design! Please open source if you’re up for it.

Heh did she really say "yes I do"?

Would love to see this open sourced!

Love the concept, what's the stack? Would be willing to help open source it.

Beautiful timeline! :) Please OS this.

This is a wonderful website. Love it.

oh, wow, can you open source for this

Please do :)

Beautiful! Also, nice website.

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

That's well done.

+1 for OSing this :)

Please do it.

would love that. gorgeous design.

Awesome!
