Weddingbee Blog

Mr. Taco bought a URL for us a long time ago, since we already had some intermittent discussions about our “wedding website”. The logical step for those who like planning ahead (me) and those with a storied history of compulsive URL-purchasing (him), was to just buy the website and determine its content later.

To preserve that Tacolicious anonymity, note that our website includes both of our first names, separated with an n instead of and. Think rock ‘n roll vs. rock and roll.

The and version of said website is taken by people who aren’t us. It’s been taken since 2002, hence our decision to go with our n version. We don’t know them, other than what we learned by poking around their site. I suppose this makes us either garden-variety curious or total weirdos.

These two actually come up a good amount lately, since we feel compelled to tell people why it’s n and not and.

I’ve only been on the site a few times, but it looks like the site’s purpose in life is to update far-away family members on their goings-on. There are cute photos of their children, family events, and their wedding, and it looks like they run a good site. It makes me wonder if anyone on their end found our site and wondered about us, since we come up right behind them in a search for our names.

I hope to avoid any noteworthy URL-related mishaps, though. For example, here’s what you, your mom, and everyone else searching for that Chris Brown bridal party entrance finds at www.JKwedding.com:

Looking for Jill and Kevin from the JK wedding video?

This is not the place! This was the website for Jim and Katrina’s 2008 wedding. And while we much appreciate the flood of email from webfolk wishing us well and thanking us for brightening their day with our creative and wonderful wedding entrance, we regret to inform you that our wedding was a reasonably traditional affair with a standard processional set to classical music.

We apologize for the confusion and have removed our wedding website to avoid any further cases of mistaken identity.

Have a wonderful day!

This is the polite way for poor Jim and Katrina to tell people to back it up, because they’re tired of getting email for the danceriffic Jill and Kevin. In fact, they were so tired of it, they disabled the website altogether. They were pretty funny about it, but it’s definitely a case of URL-Gone-Wrong that everyone wants to avoid.

Did you try to secure a URL for your website, only to find it was already taken? What was your solution?
