Great Wedding Idea: Bring the Wedding to the Guests

Shortly before my wedding, one of my readers had a family tragedy and another reader lost his job (here’s a hint, if I ever ask you to read something, say no). We found replacement readers, but what really made me sad was that these people, who were so important to me, couldn’t be at the wedding.

Well, today they could be. If you have family and friends who can’t come to the wedding due to money or illness, consider a live stream broadcast of your wedding. If just reading those words makes your head hurt, don’t worry, no technical experience is necessary. Companies like idostream.com work with videographers all over the country to get you set up. You also don’t have to worry about your wedding winding up on YouTube, the site is password protected so that only your invited virtual guests can attend.

So, what do you think, is this a new wave wedding idea, or something better left to Big Brother?
