Major wedding-oriented sites like TheKnot.com and WeddingChannel.com have been around for more than eight years, so there's not much new about them. But I wanted to talk about other sites. Brides and grooms are using all kinds of new and newish technology as part of the wedding planning process.
While they are able to keep the ceremony itself traditional, they are able to use technology for everything from the logistics to all kinds of new gift ideas. Here's a sampling.
