The bright purple background with orange text is very hard to read.

The colors are your choice, I agree with the no music crowd, but I really think your fonts should be bigger. if I am a bride's Dad and paying for the images I don't want to have to use the huge specs to see your pricing and comments

Your website is very nice. Your support to charity is very noble too.

Thanks for all your suggestions. I increased the font size and am still playing around the colors. My wife is a big proponent of music! I personally do not like music, but this piece that I have on was very soothing and serene.

Great site! I would swap the main photo with another imo. And the flash fading effect going from section to section is VERY choppy and slow for me (and I have a dual core 4gig machine here at work)

Nice site, the transitions between images might seem slow (not sure if it's a bandwidth issue on your host).
In the weddings section, is there a way for a user to manually scroll through the images?

I too like the site very much.
Also, that's a great Idea to donate 2 weddings a year to further medical research and treatment of children.
I noticed one small typo (I think it's a typo) on that page. Where it says "The suggested donation is [$XX] or more, but it is entirely upto you."
Where it says "upto", shouldn't it be "up to"? Just a small thing I noticed. I like the site though.

Very nice site. I like the look and functionality, very professional. Music has to go. I almost didn't go any further once the music started.

Thanks! The calendar was part of the template. Most of the flash templates that are available come with this function.

I've turned the music off when the site loads. The user has the option of turning it on. Thanks again for all your time.
