Our PostSecret Visitors
By Anthony and Natalie on March 15, 2009 in NewsWe have realized that we’ve had a lot of new visitors coming from PostSecret! Thank you, Frank, for posting our website and sharing it with so many of your readers, we very much appreciate it.
Thank you for all the wonderful comments and emails we’ve gotten over the last couple of days and wish that we could respond to everyone individually, but there have been so many emails! We will eventually get back to everyone soon, but for now we want to thank you again for all the kind words and best wishes! It’s a very exciting time for us. It’s only 2 months away!
We also want to take a little time to clarify a huge misunderstanding regarding our “donations”. It is not meant for anyone who sees this website to “donate to our house fund”. It’s not a way to get strangers to pay for our wedding, that’d be ridiculous. It’s also not a way of self-promotion. It’s a wedding website for our attending guests,… just like any other wedding website.
We are having a traditional Vietnamese wedding. In Vietnamese tradition, guests don’t give gifts. They give money to help start the lives of the newly married couple and to aide the couple in their endeavors.
We’re designers, so we’re using technology and the internet to make everything easier for our (internet-saavy) guests.
We’ve spent 5 to 6 months building this website and we honestly just wanted to share the design of it with other people who may be inspired by it. It stemmed from doing research and finding that there are not a lot of robust and unique wedding websites and we wanted to push the boundaries.
Thanks again everyone. We really, really appreciate all the wonderful comments and guestbook entries. We never expected for our engagement video to make such huge impacts on people and are very touched that it has.
