"e-Plan Your Wedding: How to Save Time and Money with Today's Best Online Resources by Crystal and Jason Melendez is a well organized book leading you through online resources for planning your wedding. It covers all aspects of today's weddings with the help of today's technology. I would highly recommend this book for all newly engaged couples.

"E-Plan Your Wedding" by Crystal and Jason Melendez. Planning for the walk down the aisle is now easier than ever with this complete guide that covers every stage of nuptials preparation, including both traditional and internet-based resources.

"e-Plan Your Wedding" has been chosen for Independent Publisher Online's Highlighted Titles Section for July and August, 2006.

The Highlighted Title Publicity Program is a component to Independent Publisher Online (formerly Small Press Magazine). Independent Publisher Online (IP) is a publication with a strong reputation as a source for the best independent publishing "news, reviews, and how-to's" for 19 years as a print journal, and three years exclusively on the Web. IP now goes out monthly to over 40,000 subscribers worldwide, many of whom are agents, buyers, and librarians.

Technology has even changed traditional rituals, so this solid guide introducing couples to wedding web sites and online planning tools comes as no surprise. The authors, both technology professionals, began researching ways that technology could improve wedding planning for their own nuptials. Then they cofounded wedshare.com and became active in the wedding industry.

Many current wedding books include some wedding site information, but this guide goes a step further, promoting online tools for several tasks: managing finances, gift registry, and guest lists; renting limousines; sampling reception music; and developing a couple's site. A wide range of planning web sites encompasses both high-profile and reputable, lesser-known ones, a feature that makes the book's scope broader than Dennis L. Prince's How To Buy Everything for Your Wedding on eBay...and Save a Fortune! E-Plan also contains commonly found information on time lines, etiquette, legalities, ceremonies, receptions, and honeymoons, as well as work sheets (also available on the companion site, eplanyourwedding.com). To boot, the text is quite readable, and the authors take care to reassure technophobes.
