The Web 2.0 Wedding
When I get married again I want a web 2.0 wedding. Plus I’d like to write about the experience for a magazine:
How I Saved $10K on my Wedding with Affiliate Marketing.
I’d like a wedding blog and have affiliate links to online stores. The wedding invitation would direct you to a web site to RSVP and get on the wedding email list. I’d like to chronicle the whole thing and how much money was saved by doing it online with affiliate marketing (you earn a % of every sale made). I’m a big fan of Overstock.com for housewares. If you can register for gifts there, you’d earn 20% on every wedding present purchased. That could help fund the honeymoon.
We’d have youtube videos and we’d podcast the wedding RECEPTION live to friends who can’t attend (since we can’t podcast or video a temple ceremony). And we can get an iTunes djay for dancing (there must be dancing). I bet even people who didn’t know us might watch if we blogged it up and sent press releases. There could be laptops on every table with the wedding site and even live pictures and video feeds from the event.
So I found a geek who proposed to his girlfriend online, with a funny spoof web site made to look like eHarmony dating site: www.daveloveselizabeth.com. It’s SOOOOO FUNNY and it’s sweet too. Google maps of where they met and the whole thing on the World Wide Wed, lol. I love how he planted comments from famous people in the blog comments. And the fake magazine articles. Hilarious. Plus they met at church and it all feels so blessed and happy. I can’t wait until these two have children!
I just have to find a groom with the tech skills to pull this off. I’m not even close on that one. If you’re even thinking about it, better get over to godaddy and reserve www.janetwillyoumarryme.com right now — before it’s taken
