User-Generated Wedding

Indecision is my fatal flaw. I'm infamous for changing my mind a million times and asking a ton of people for their opinion before making a decision on my own. I literally can't buy clothes or shoes without my sister's approval. (Thank goodness for iPhone's great photo capabilities!)

This wedding planning business has further confirmed my lack of decision-making skills so rather than run myself in circles, I've been considering continuing our Web 2.0 theme and making this a user-generated wedding. So far we've only put the Colors up for vote, but there are so many other things I could use input on:
- Venue: Or not. We're almost ready to release the final decision. Voting would open up a dangerous can of worms.
- Website Design: Jeng and I have explored over 11 different layouts and have yet to choose one to build and launch. At this rate, we'll be married before our web site is complete.
- Favors: But I would like it to be a surprise for our guests. We have some great ideas up our sleeves.
- Centerpieces: What would you, our guests, like to stare at all evening? Hmmm... that's one I could use input on.
- Music: DJ or iPod? Or a little bit of both? Hmmm...
- Entertainment: Who should make speeches? Knowing our friends, maybe nobody should be given the honor of mic time.
- Groom: It's a bit too late for that. Although, I haven't said my vows yet so I'm still open to alternate suggestions. Just kidding. Or am I?
- Dress: Supposedly this is supposed to be some big secret from the groom. I bet Jeng will hardly notice what my wedding dress looks like. He'll just remember the price tag. Maybe I'll figure out a password-protected way to share this with my girls.
- Cake Flavors: This would be fun. I could send out samples to all our loyal followers. But don't get your hopes up.

All in all, please don't think our polls are purely for our entertainment and nerdy love of google forms (although that's partially true). We are actually taking the votes into consideration. So keep participating (and clicking on ads)... this is a weddemocracy. Kind of.
