Digital Dope: Web Wed Mobile (Celebrating Black Entrepreneurs in Tech)
As Luther Vandross once sang, sometimes “Love Won’t Let You Wait”. Fortunately, there’s an app for that! These, days apps can do just about anything. They can also facilitate any transaction or interaction imaginable. Even a wedding? Yes – even a wedding.
Thanks to our Digital Dope of the week, there is no need to go to the justice of the peace, or even elope to Vegas. WedWeb Mobile allows couples to get married online. Weddings are 100% legal in all 50 states and can occur within 48 hours or less. The app describes themselves as Vegas meets Uber. Couples can apply for an obtain a marriage license through the app within the same day. Once the application is filed, an ordained officiant will be assigned and will facilitate the entire wedding ceremony via live stream. WebWeb will provide an officiant, or your preferred officiant may sign up through WebWed to conduct your ceremony. The wedding stream can either be private or can be streamed publicly for family and friends to participate.
WebWed literally revolutionizes weddings as we know it, and brings the harmonious sanctity of exchanging vows and committing to love for life to a technology platform that makes it 100% legal, affordable, and efficient to get married. Founders JC and Randy Banks had a vision of marrying their passions of law & technology, and thus created the app in line with their mission to promote marriage equality. Their commitment to marriage equality means that both straight, as well as gay couples, may use the platform to share “I do’s”.
WebWed has received support and backing from Mark Cuban and Kevin O’Leary of ABC’s Shark Tank. As awareness of the platform spreads, and as consumer behavior continues to evolve and expand to be more accepting of virtual experiences that were once determined to only be suitable to the real world, WebWed will literally be talked about with the likes of other life-changing technology innovations that change the way we do things such as Uber and Spotify.
Sometimes, the goal is simply to get to the “I do”, without all of the expense and debt, the headaches of planning, the drama of picking bridesmaids and finding the perfect dress, and everything else that comes with trying to create the perfect wedding. WebWed Mobile makes that possible. With the help of WebWed you can skip the extravagant wedding, and go to Fiji for the honeymoon!
