Arranging your wedding is confirmed to be one of the happiest but most stressful and demanding events that you are likely to become involved in throughout your lifetime. But in these modern times, advances in technology are making the planning of a wedding simpler than ever before. But what if the opportunities to rely on this technology are greater then you imagine? Would you use a search engine in place of a wedding planner?

A pair of newly weds in America did just that. David and Bergin Boyle used online search engine giant Google extensively as a means to help plan their nuptials.

The couple initially made use of Google’s online calendar to decide on a date which suited both their busy schedules. They shared their online calendars to make co-ordination much easier than it might otherwise have been. They also made use of Google documents to store their master guest list and RSVP information and made the data accessible online to each other and all of their relatives and friends.

The technology loving couple then created a personalised wedding website using the Google Page Creator. They used this to keep the wedding party and everyone involved in the nuptials up to date with the details of their wedding. They even went as far as to create customised Google Maps to direct guests to the location of the wedding and offer guests travelling from the UK information on the local and surrounding areas’.
