If saying "I do" is in your near future, Google
has launched a wedding planning site. According to The Official Google Blog,
Google Weddings offers four main tools for the soon-to-be-married: Google Sites for creating a website that can be shared with the wedding party; Picnik for editing photos; Google Documents for creating seating charts, schedules and budgets with wedding-themed templates; and Picasa for sharing photos online with family and friends. Google asked famed wedding planner Michelle Rago for input on the site's design. In addition, Rago is also taking part in Google's $25,000 dream wedding sweepstakes, which will award one couple with a Rago-designed wedding day.
Google Weddings doesn't really offer anything new in terms of content. Essentially, it just takes a few helpful sites and puts them in one convenient place. That's not bad, though, especially for the wedding planners who will still have jobs to do. But we've seen some friends create websites that chronicle the days leading up to their "The Big Day." So we're sure many brides-to-be will embrace Google Weddings, while future grooms will be stuck with one more pre-wedding chore to pretend they care about.
