Author of the website here. The last thing a person who is getting married could wish would be getting his wedding invite HNed. I think I am soon going to cross the free plan's limit of typeform.com (which I am using for RSVPing there)<p>Little history: `sudo gem install wedding` actually works. The gem was first uploaded on rubygems. Which I thought would be the only thing that I would share with my colleagues and hacker friends. Later I realized that it would be too complex a thing to expect from people, so built a mock frontend around it using jcubic's jQuery terminal plugin.<p>I am happy that people are finding it funny / interesting. The website found its target audience. Just that I wouldn't be able to host this number of people ;-)
Each time I see web-based terminal with *nix-looking shell prompt inside it ends up like this:<p><pre><code> ...
Successfully installed wedding-0.0.1

which is not a valid command
root@wedding ~$ whoami

</code></pre>

This is awesome! However, 95% of my guests would be soo confused and we probably would receive a lot of phone calls/emails asking helpdesk questions.<p>"How does this work"
"So we tried the website and we wanted to let you know we will be coming..."
Hope nobody has any issues at the wedding ceremony, and especially nobody wants to take over the project afterwards!<p>I always love an interactive shell prompt on the net.
