But all the geek will love it :). Its a real gem, so you can install it. Its the best way to invite other hacker friends. I hope there is no hackathon on wedding. :)
Each time I see web-based terminal with *nix-looking shell prompt inside it ends up like this:
...

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)
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.
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 ;-)
While looking at the RSVP form I never intended to send, I wondered how many people show up at a wedding in India? In some cultures, a thousand or more might just "drop by" for a little bit to pay their respects.

Congratulations for the wedding!
Great concept.. :)
I always love an interactive shell prompt on the net.
We Indians invite everyone we know, friends, friends of friends and our friends even invite their friends who we dont know.
Who can resist Indian wedding food ? :)
