Wedding site done in a day

Yesterday afternoon, just as I was about to stand up to leave for home - my boss gave me a project. He said the Holland Sentinel was putting out a publication the next day for brides and we needed a website for it. Not only did we need a website, but we needed it up by tomorrow afternoon (which was today by 5pm).

After freaking out and banging my head on the keyboard, I said ok and prepaired myself for the next day.

Today I came in around 8:30am, because I just couldn’t get myself out of those comfortable sheets on my bed. The first thing I did was sift through the large piles of email I receive daily and did my best to answer them all. Then I was forced to begin.

All I was given was a 91MB Quark file that had more information than anyone could ever scroll through in an hour. I started to become very worried I wasn’t going to get this done on time. Then anger set in for a good 10 minutes before I slapped myself and chugged a bottle of Mountain Dew. Six and a half hours later I pushed the site to live.

Ladies and gentlemen - I would like to present you with a website on getting married; done in one day.

The site: www.westmichiganbride.com/

Umm - I have to say. I was told to use that banner. For all you designers out there - I’m sorry I wasn’t able to spend more time on this.
