Nowadays, wedding preparations can be as easy as launching your browser and click, click, click. Well, it isn't really as easy as it sounds, but a lot of trips to the caterer and other suppliers can be minimized when the internet is used as a wedding preparation tool.

1. Ask caterers/hotels to send you their packages/menu through email so you won't have to personally go to their office. Don't miss the taste test though!
2. Surf wedding blogs. Blogging is a venue for brides to narrate their experiences, usually from the time of engagement until their big day. Follow their adventures or just surf for ideas. Have a pen and paper handy, these wedding blogs personally written by the brides themselves are usually full of useful tips based on true-to-life experience.

Days later, with hands trembling with excitement, you load the DVD of your wedding pictures onto your DVD drive and start to reminisce about the biggest day of your lives. You put off the stress of surfing through 2600+ shots to choose the 100-150 pictures for your album. Another day... another day...
