Wedding Guests stay home

without comments

Here’s a neat idea… why not get married and webcast it over the Internet.  You save money and guests don’t have to travel.  Check out this article from the New York Times.

ONLY two guests — both strangers —were in attendance on May 18, when Dawn Westman and Einar Ollander of Tarpon Springs, Fla., were married in the chapel of the Grand Princess, a cruise ship sailing the Mediterranean. But dozens were watching from home.

The audience included the bride’s father and stepmother, who witnessed the event from their home in Worcester, Mass.; the bridegroom’s mother in Tarpon Springs; and the bridegroom’s brother in Gainesville, Fla. All awakened around 4 a.m. and flicked on their home computers so they could view the wedding couple walking down the aisle, live over the Internet.
