Worked examples

Six celebrations, built with the software

Every one of these is a working site. Click through the events, open the order of the day, try the reply form. They cover different traditions and, more usefully, different shapes of celebration: four events over two weekends, one afternoon in a garden, five nights hosted by two families.

One of these is a real wedding, with the couple's own photographs, and it says so. The other six are written: we'd rather show you the software working than borrow someone else's wedding to prove it. More real ones go up as couples agree to be named.

The full Yoruba sequence across two weekends: introduction, engagement with the two alaga, church, and an owambe that runs to ten. Four events, four dress codes, two sets of colours.

Wunmi & Jide's site, built with the Botanical Wash template

Yoruba · Ibadan

Wunmi & Jide

The opposite scale: one engagement in a garden, family only, no church. Proof that a small celebration doesn't need the whole machine switched on.

Four days from haldi to reception, where guests attend some events and not others, so the reply has to be per event rather than a single yes.
