Theme Name: The Big Day Journal
Theme URI: https://bigdayweddingplanner.com/blog
Description: WordPress block theme for The Big Day Journal, the editorial arm of Big Day Wedding Planner. Ported from the journal-theme static prototypes (prototype-home.html, prototype-article.html) after a continuity audit corrected the palette to match the live product site: warm near-black midnight (#1C1008, verified against the live footer) instead of a cool navy, and the live site's actual primary gold (#C4A060) instead of a darker off-site value. Structure follows STRUCTURE.md's "Sealed Letter" concept — five categories (Planning, Money, People, The Day, After), Real Talk box, inline live tool cards, Not-Pink-World moments left deliberately unboxed.
