Google Blog received this wedding story from the Boyles. They are very happy that Google properties helped their wedding planning and arrangement in different ways.

The Boyles used the Google Calendar to pick up a wedding data suitable for both of them. They then created RSVP and to-do lists with the help of Google Docs and shared them with their relatives and friends, so they can have an idea who will be attending their wedding.

Google Docs has an easy-share feature and you can share any documents, PDF, spread sheets, presentation with anyone. To access this facility click the "Share" button in the document page.

Once the Boyles knew who were coming to the wedding they then created a site with the help of Google Pages containing the details for their guests and provided them with a personalized Google Maps featuring their wedding site Stonington, Connecticut. Since many also would like to visit the surrounding area, the Boyles created places of interest as shown in the picture below:

They used "Forms Feature" in Google Docs to create a music list for their wedding and asked their friends and relatives for their input.

Once the wedding was over, they know they will be busy for the next few days but wanted to announce their wedding to those who didn't attend and to blog readers by posting a special blog and make Google post at a future date with the help of Blogger's "future-dated posts" feature.

Google can start a special site to have all of these distinct applications in one site for other couples to organize their wedding. But even without it, Google Docs, Gmail, GTalk (chat), Google Pages (create websites), Youtube (videos), Picasa (photos) and other Google tools provide great opportunities to organize weddings. You don't need a "Wedding Planner" when you have Google.
