I am willing to bet that if we polled all the married people reading this site, at least half would say that they chose the location for their wedding not based on any romantic ideas about where to get hitched but because of where beloved friends and family were located. After all, a wedding is about the family, not just the bride and groom, and having your nearest and dearest there with you is a huge part off the package.

But what if I were to tell you that there is a way to have that Hawaiian destination wedding of your dreams AND have your Great Aunt Martha in Poughkeepsie share the moment? Because you CAN, thanks to the Internet. Just arrange to have your ceremony wedcast! Guests far and wide can watch your wedding live on the Internet, and can feel like they are there no matter where they are.

The wedcast also makes it possible for couples to elope and still permit friends and family to see them at the alter (or on the cliff or in the waving field of grain, as the case may be). An article in today's International Herald Tribune tells the story of one man who flew to Hawaii, where his girlfriend was attending a conference, to surprise her with a proposal. She said yes, they sent out Evite invitations to the wedcast, and three days later they were husband and wife.

Now that's romantic.
