We we will never charge for your free wedding website now or in the future. You have a free website that never expires. We started MyWeddingFile.com with the idea of making a place where couples getting married can share information and interact with their wedding guests - friends and family (We couldn't find anything that suited us anywhere else).

We may offer some new optional added features in the future at a charge, but if you are happy with the free website you can stick with that, and you'll never have to pay a thing (No catch!)
