I know I've mentioned this before, but since this was the Great Weekend of the Wedding Website, I feel justified (and slightly vindictive) in going into further detail to clarify my insanity.
Somewhere along the line, someone decided that all wedding websites should be girly and cute and nauseatingly romantic. Now, I understand that this works for most people. However, if you ask me, it's all nonsense and poppycock. I didn't want cursive script, roses and the color pink anywhere on our website. Sadly there isn't a website without any one of those three objects. It's as if the wedding website designers have a formula that includes a couple of nested if clauses to make sure that at least one of those suckers is on there.
Which is why you would have found Hon and I slaving over Photoshop's 30 day trial and google's website designer last night. The photos I set up and took of lego folks turned out a little tricky to isolate from their background. The grays and the whites seemed to all be the same color to Photoshop's magic wand. So little by little I outlined the entire image just to delete the background color.
Hon, on the other hand, sat on my bed staring at what is to become our website. Google, which will one day rule the world, has a million different layouts and a "easier" to use editor. Except that Hon is a coder. The "easy" to use layout was not-quite-so-easy to modify.
So we ended yesterday with bleary eyes and a possible case of carpal tunnel syndrome. Needless to say, I think it was worth it. We're going to have the most ridiculously fun website ever.
Okay, that's a lie. But it will definitely be a website that fits us as a couple. So let the games begin!
Okay, that's a lie too. Sorry folks, there aren't any games on there.
No games? What kind of wedding are you trying to plan without games?
