Get Married With WordPress
One of the most important events of your life might just be your wedding. It also might be one of the craziest, disorganized, mixed-up times of your life too. We’d like to help with that a bit with a free wedding theme we call Forever. Along with a handful of cool features we’ll get to below, Forever makes it easy to wrap your wedding up in a neat little blog on WordPress.com. You can show off every one of your best photos and highlight every important detail leading up to the big day and beyond.
Forever makes it easy to welcome your family and friends to your blog with a dramatic personalized home page. The design is bold and clean with lots of room for large, colorful photos of the happy couple (that’s you!) in an optional featured post slider and home page excerpts.
You can also easily customize the color scheme and get Forever to match your wedding colors with only a few clicks. You can update the background color (or add your own pattern) from the custom background page in your blog dashboard and even change the color of the all the links from the Forever Theme Options page.
We also built in a special Guestbook Template that lets your guests take over a page of your choice with their best wishes for you … and maybe a few embarrassing stories 
… as comments.
And, of course, Forever works seamlessly with all the other WordPress.com features you love; emails sent to your blog followers every time you post, contact forms (perfect for RSVPs), custom domain names (like robandlaura.com instead of robandlaura.wordpress.com), customized fonts and CSS with the Custom Design upgrade (great for changing your blog title to a handwriting font), and everything else.
Forever with a custom background, custom font, and custom link color
And it works especially well with our new Milestone Widget.
Save The Date!
Forever also sports a custom design for a new widget we call Milestone. You can find it in your blog dashboard at Appearance → Widgets and it’s pretty easy to use. Just pick a title for your event, a date and time, and a special message for the big day, and you’re ready to go. Now you have a special save the date widget for your Wedding on every page of your blog.
The Milestone Widget in Forever
If that sounds pretty awesome and you want the Milestone widget available for your non-Wedding blog too, you’re in luck. We’re also making the milestone widget available to every theme on WordPress.com right now.
Enjoy Forever
To find out more about our new Wedding Theme, Forever, check out the demo site and visit the Forever theme showcase page. Or just go ahead and activate it on your brand new Wedding blog.
Here’s to your wedding and your wedding blog on WordPress.com. Cheers! (That means you have to kiss now.)

I love this but wish it had been around in early 2010 for my own wedding
Looks great though guys. So many of the wedding websites out there right now are so hooky looking.
January 12th, 2012 at 4:14 pm
Good move, WP!
A suggestion: more such themes would help people make birth announcements and other special occasions too. After all, a fairytale wedding is just the beginning of a happily ever after
January 12th, 2012 at 4:18 pm
Yay for a milestone widget – Thanks!
January 12th, 2012 at 4:20 pm
Will the “Milestone” widget be made available via dot-org?
January 12th, 2012 at 4:30 pm
Yep. We’re working on it. Look for it in a future release of Jetpack.
January 12th, 2012 at 4:20 pm
There should be a wedding counter to make it truly complete.
“This is my nth wedding!”
January 12th, 2012 at 4:25 pm
Oohhh this is great! I wish you had this 2 years ago!
nevertheless, I surely will help spread the word around 
January 12th, 2012 at 4:29 pm
Awesome addition, I’ll also have to tell some of my clients about this.
January 12th, 2012 at 4:29 pm
Very interesting!
January 12th, 2012 at 4:43 pm
I might use this to make wedding websites for my friends who are taking the plunge… I am in a committed relationship but don’t believe in spending the cash just to have that lil piece of paper… and what’s with all the stupid things on gift registries? GEESH! This would be a (much) cheaper and personalized gift
A good gift for an unemployed friend to give lol…
January 12th, 2012 at 4:55 pm
This is perfect since I was already using WordPress for my wedding website — i just made the Chunk theme work until 2 minutes ago… this theme is wonderful. Thanks!
January 12th, 2012 at 5:00 pm
This cracks me up…as someone who occasionally blogs about my C-R-A-Z-Y divorce, I’m wondering: Will there be a “Never (again)” theme coming soon, too? You guys always seem to do a great job of adapting to your users’ places in life…
The theme, however, is stunning. Nice work as always!
January 12th, 2012 at 5:11 pm
So, where were you in 1983? Fortunately, we’re still married… We eloped. Been thinking about a real wedding to renew our vows. Hmm… Maybe I’ll start my blog today?
January 12th, 2012 at 5:14 pm
What a wonderful addition with such useful features too. I love it.
January 12th, 2012 at 5:16 pm
Whilst I have no weddings going on in my life right now, this theme with a dark background suits my blog really well so I am going to use it anyway.
Thanks
January 12th, 2012 at 5:19 pm
Milestone widget – superb!
January 12th, 2012 at 5:53 pm
Love it!
January 12th, 2012 at 6:17 pm
What a wonderful theme idea. Wish it (and the Internet) had been around when I first got married. And hurray for the Milestone widget. I’ve often wished for something like that.
January 12th, 2012 at 6:18 pm
Can we get the “milestone” widget on other themes?
January 12th, 2012 at 7:41 pm
Yep! It’s available for every theme on WordPress.com.
January 12th, 2012 at 6:18 pm
This is more than important, love it.
January 12th, 2012 at 6:23 pm
Reblogged this on MK on the go and commented:
Check out our new gorgeous wedding theme. Can’t wait to get started with it. Major kudos to our Theme Team!
January 12th, 2012 at 6:35 pm
I have a blog about Home decor & DIY, so I Forever wouldn’t work for me – it looks great though. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you how much I love the way you presented the theme. The last phrase was awesome “Here’s to your wedding and your wedding blog on WordPress.com. Cheers! (That means you have to kiss now.)” haha Very creative!
January 12th, 2012 at 6:49 pm
I like it a lot.Very interessting
January 12th, 2012 at 6:53 pm
What an awesome idea…wish I was getting married
January 12th, 2012 at 7:25 pm
So can we specify in a Milestone widget for a time period, as long as it’s a few consecutive days? Instead of just 1 day.
I was just thinking for an event that runs over 2-3 days and make the countdown start from the lst day of event?
January 12th, 2012 at 7:56 pm
Right now, it’s just one point in time and not a range.
January 12th, 2012 at 7:26 pm
There’s always an occasion for WordPress. Awesome.
January 12th, 2012 at 7:46 pm
Ah! I think I’m in love with this theme/WordPress.com, too… “Forever, and ever, and ever…”
January 12th, 2012 at 7:46 pm
I’m with Sara, although I wasn’t blogging when I had my wedding! Love the new widget and will definitely find a way to use it!
January 12th, 2012 at 8:46 pm
How adorable!
January 12th, 2012 at 8:59 pm
Great. Let’s get married! Can I marry WordPress?
January 13th, 2012 at 2:16 am
Absolutely. WordPress is a catch.
January 12th, 2012 at 10:05 pm
Will I be able to get this theme on .org?
January 13th, 2012 at 1:46 am
Yep! It will make it’s way there soon.
January 12th, 2012 at 10:10 pm
Wow, this is great ! What a timing. My friend was just asking me for suggestion for a wedding site, well, what better than a super easy to setup/use interface, ad-free, free, blog with a custom theme on wordpress. I am not going to search any further.
January 12th, 2012 at 10:16 pm
I need help making some of the features work, but there is nothing in the forums or support about this theme yet. How can I get help?
January 13th, 2012 at 1:49 am
There are instructions on setting up Forever in the theme showcase but if you run into any trouble you can always contact us in support at anytime.
January 12th, 2012 at 10:26 pm
Brilliant Idea. Wish this had of been around when we got married two years ago. It will make the planning a lot easier for couples.
January 12th, 2012 at 10:34 pm
Beautiful and simple! Love them!
January 12th, 2012 at 11:05 pm
Very Cool. Perfect for weddings.
January 12th, 2012 at 11:49 pm
Now I m too desperate to marry so that get a chance to show the whole world about my partner & start new phase of my life. Thanks WP, thanks Ian Stewart
Good Luck for your Widget.
January 13th, 2012 at 1:58 am
Good luck on the new phase of your life!
January 12th, 2012 at 11:52 pm
I LOVE this new theme!! I’m not planning a wedding but its elegant simplicity suits my Greek painting/travel/photography blog perfectly! Just what I’ve been looking for, so – THANK YOU!
January 13th, 2012 at 12:36 am
I really like it. Wish I could change my blog to it.
January 13th, 2012 at 2:28 am
I agree with Mark and Yvonne. This is a beautiful theme and there’s no need to get engaged to use it! Theme team, you rock!
January 13th, 2012 at 3:19 am
The new themes look great… I know many people each year who get married and I will have to let them know about this.
January 13th, 2012 at 3:29 am
Love the idea of the milestone widget – thanks!
January 13th, 2012 at 6:26 am
Love this! Definitely will use it if I get married anytime soon…
January 13th, 2012 at 8:04 am
Nice! I wish this came out 4 years ago. I wonder if I can customize it to make it a post-wedding/ marriage blog
January 13th, 2012 at 10:16 am
What I like most is the “Milestone widget”.
January 13th, 2012 at 12:08 pm
Wow, that is fantastic. My cousin got married not long ago, and I wonder if she would have used this theme? I really like the new widget, and I expect I’ll be able to use it soon (though not for a wedding). Thanks.
January 13th, 2012 at 1:04 pm
i really like this theme
January 13th, 2012 at 2:27 pm
I really like this theme. Would you say it would work for all events…not just weddings?
January 13th, 2012 at 4:47 pm
Sure. Try previewing it from Appearance → Themes and see if it fits your content. If it works, it works.
January 13th, 2012 at 8:44 pm
This is a very nice theme and fit more than just wedding ..I have juse it for my flower blog Fleurs du Monde…and so THANKS for all your great themes….WP rocks!!!!!!
January 14th, 2012 at 12:56 am
Brilliant! Wish it had been around when I got married… oh well, next time!
January 14th, 2012 at 3:29 am
nice theme
January 14th, 2012 at 3:36 am
Very nice theme
January 14th, 2012 at 6:16 am
I do, WordPress, I do.
January 14th, 2012 at 12:11 pm
nice theme
January 14th, 2012 at 7:20 pm
OMG, so ballerinic
January 14th, 2012 at 8:10 pm
Love this theme! When will it be available for wordpress.org users?
January 16th, 2012 at 5:58 pm
Forever should make it’s way to the WordPress.org site sometime in the near future.
January 15th, 2012 at 12:09 am
Nice theme, simple but elegant.
January 15th, 2012 at 6:09 am
Looks really good.
January 15th, 2012 at 6:41 pm
What a great theme! I doubt if I’ll ever need to use it, but I bet those who will use it, will be very happy with it.
January 15th, 2012 at 9:35 pm
This theme is really cool. I’m not getting married anytime soon, but I love the milestone widget. It’s really cool and I cant wait to use it for my next big event.
January 16th, 2012 at 1:43 am
Awwwww, that’s really nice. I need to get married now so that I can use it!
January 16th, 2012 at 6:30 am
Nice!! I might try this if it is free!
Thanks for simple and lovely theme!
January 16th, 2012 at 2:41 pm
LOVE this theme!!! I’m using it for my everyday life blog, beka stays, and just waxed poetic about how wonderful it is here.
THANK YOU!
January 17th, 2012 at 2:42 am
Gorgeous! I love it!
January 17th, 2012 at 3:19 pm
Aww… so sweet and romantic. I’ll remember this one, if ever the day comes.
January 17th, 2012 at 5:36 pm
Just want you to know I grabbed this theme for the makeover for my quilt blog. It’s a winner. I am using the Milestone widget to count down to local events that relate to quilts. I love the width of the column as it allows me to post up large-sized photos of quilts, and the font style is great looking (just wish it could be a titch larger for many quilters are older). I like the look, the layout, and how clean-looking it is, even with lots in the sidebar. Thank you, thank you!
January 18th, 2012 at 6:50 am
I say, “Yay! to the milestone widget!”
Now, who’s with me?
January 18th, 2012 at 11:45 am
Wooooow. It is Gorgeous. Ballerinic, “OMG” i can’t believe this.
January 19th, 2012 at 1:27 am
I wonder when this time (or rather, if this theme) will be made available for WP.org users…
January 19th, 2012 at 7:20 pm
It will be available for WordPress.org users sometime soon.
January 19th, 2012 at 10:23 am
THANKS…! I have really loved this. What a wonderful idea.
January 19th, 2012 at 11:22 am
Milestone widget I This is a good idea
Thank you…
January 19th, 2012 at 10:13 pm
Darn it! I could’ve used this at my wedding! That said, we did use WordPress in 2008 to coordinate the wedding party, and for that my wife and I are forever grateful.
January 20th, 2012 at 2:50 am
This is gorgeous!
Now if only this theme would make marriage legal in my state, it’d be 100% useful to me.
January 23rd, 2012 at 2:05 am
Oooo, I probably would have used this for my own wedding…
January 24th, 2012 at 1:23 am
This is awesome!
January 24th, 2012 at 3:22 am
So beautiful! I just got married eight months ago. Thanks for creating this pretty concept.
January 25th, 2012 at 1:44 am
Nice! Best of luck on the big date!
January 25th, 2012 at 4:45 am
wow very nice
