Site design looks great
From 4 comments
Looks great. Do we all get cake?
JustSomeNobody on HNGreat job! I created my own website with Bootstrap and a couple of hours, but it does not look half as good as yours. One idea I had was to create a template wedding website…

Web components are a good way to organize code

Web Components: I think that web components are absolutely the best way to program a web application. Keeping the CSS, HTML, and JavaScript within the boundaries of a component…

Congratulations! We are all coming.
ibash on HNGood choice in marrying the girl, but just dating Polymer. I wouldn't wed myself to Polymer, considering how fickle Google is. Nice job on the site and best wishes to you and…

Objections
Slow initial load and blank screen before JavaScript runs
From 4 comments
Cool and thanks for sharing. Not as a criticism to you specifically, but a worry I have about technology like Polymer in general: I opened your site and was staring at an empty…
micheljansen on HNOn what is normally a pretty good connection this took me 14 seconds to load fully. I think the HN attention is increasing.
tomw2005 on HNCongrats on the wedding, but this site just shows me that I was right not to invest in polymer. On android chrome, 5 second pageload, which seems to be taking place after the…
qwertyuiop924 on HNYes, the initial load is heavy. I think lots of it may be device rendering time after the page is loaded- chrome is the only browser that natively renders web components and…

Polymer has poor cross-browser support
From 3 comments
Yeah I used Polymer on a production site a year ago. The amount of Google components I had to fork and edit to make them work correctly in all the browsers I had to support was…
BinaryIdiot on HNI'm building something in Polymer. I'm a little worried though. It doesn't appear that cross browser comparability is considered a show-stopper by the Polymer team. Things work…

Site shows nothing without JavaScript
From 2 comments
OP, your site does not show anything without JavaScript. Is there some feature that needs JS on the page or why is it so?
erlehmann_ on HNThere's also a simple problem in that you're, on that page, not doing much more than showing simple HTML, however in browsers with JS off, for whatever reason, it shows…

Layout breaks in Safari
From 2 comments
Is it really supposed to have everything on the front page left-aligned in very wide white boxes? Because that's what I get on Safari. http://imgur.com/AnsXVoY

Questions
Why use JavaScript for a site that needs no JavaScript
From 2 comments
OP, your site does not show anything without JavaScript. Is there some feature that needs JS on the page or why is it so?
erlehmann_ on HNThat does not answer my question. Is there a feature that absolutely needs JS on the page? If so, what is it?

Is the parallax effect part of Polymer
From 1 comment
Nice! Is the parallax on the Our Story page part of Polymer?

I might recommend you check out React Standalone if you're interested in Web Components but want to use something familiar (if you're familiar with React that is!). I'm using it…

I encounter the same issue with every single website written using a modern frontend framework: Angular, React, whatever... They're considered to be faster but they look so…
