I am getting married. It does not come as a shock to anyone who knows me as it has been quite a while coming. However, not content to send out normal invitations I have decided to make a wedding website to host invitations, send out e-mail notifications and track RSVPs.

I would like to share the journey of its development, until it is ready.

In terms of implementation details, I am deploying the site on a linux server using the apache server httpd. The site is written entirely in python using wsgi and uses the django framework as the content management system. People often ask why python? I worked for a python shop for the last 3 years and I am most comfortable with the programming language. I use django because I know one of the maintainers and he has always been a big inspiration to me in the past. I have played with it quite a lot and it is very good.

Todays post is a bit of an introduction to myself and my project so it will be a short one. Hopefully there will be plenty more to come.

Congratulations! I too am getting married this coming summer and this sounds like a great idea. All of my friends are very tech savvy and this would work well for them. But how are you going to handle those who are older (aka greandparents) who are not as tech capable?

Congratulations! That is a great idea.Maybe you could later on also post the photos and videos from the wedding later on to the site and write about how the wedding went.Maybe also your life after the marriage.I'll think of doing something similar as well, when the time comes.
