Amie and I got married on May 12, 2007. About a year prior to that date, it was decided that I should build a site that would allow us to keep track of our planning, and share it with our friends and family at the same time.

One thing that this site allowed me to do (design-wise) was step out of my normal “theme” choices. Traditionally, pink and green would not be on my palette. But since our Spring wedding theme was pink and green, the shoe fit.

Granted, this was about 2 years ago, and I’ve become extremely more knowledgeable about design and Ruby/Rails itself, so this site would probably look far different should I redo it, today.

Also, I was solely a Windows user in those days, and these screen shots were just recently taken on my Mac. Little did I know, FF/Safari on the Mac puts a 1 pixel gap between tabs and the content area (not to mention the wrapping text in the footer), which bothers me to no end. Today, I wouldn’t tolerate it, but since the site is over 2 years old, I think I’ll let it slide :-)
