Last Saturday was Ha’s & Bach-Tons wedding. It was a nice day, briljant weather, a top location and a nice international group of people (their Vietnames family, colleagues from the Netherlands, Ukraine, Poland and India, some of our clients, etc). It was a really nice traditional wedding, with a good party.
But with all the Enterprise 2.0 and Web 2.0 going around in our office, I expected a bit more of Wedding 2.0 
Concepts that would have been nice:
- Online video feed for people not able to attend (i.e. a lot of our colleagues from India, Ukraine, Romania).
- Online guestbook (instead of the paper version).
- Before they say “yes”, let’s check the poll, forum or blog if the world approves.
- Twigger that you are receiving the ring.
So in normal life Web/Enterprise 2.0 is a way of life, but in a wedding people tend to be more traditional. That is of course no problem, but if you think about a bit surprising, as it is so different from normal life.
On the other hand, right after the wedding the normal life continues, so I expect some blog post (like this one) on the wedding, lot’s of online photo’s and maybe even some youtubes and some posts in our wiki.

Well… the pure Wedding 2.0 would be if they were sitting at different cities and doing all that ceremony via some webcams
But that would be too much off course. So sometimes traditional things must have place in our life and the wedding is a perfect candidate for this.
Nice to hear that everything went ok. Waiting for some photos :p
Tom,
You’re totally right, all these non Wedding 2.0 arrangements were just too much. And I guess all my blogging / work etc. about 2.0 made me just wanna block that from my wedding.
I’m not sure if BT would have liked if I would be twittering ‘I’m married now, just got the ring
’
Sure happy that you were there!
I hope this will the Web 2.0 grade up for my wedding:
