Look at how happy they are together. They’re so illuminated you can’t help but share in the joy of their union. Oh, and the bride and groom look great too. These two are BlackBerry users through and through. They are extremely detail oriented; which was reflected in the wedding and reception. It was, by far, one of the best weddings I’ve had the honour of attending. A few days after the wedding, I asked them if they had used any applications to help them keep organized; surprisingly, they said no. This made me want to seek out any application that may be out there that can be of use for those who are just starting out in their wedding plans. With so many website out there that offer advice on weddings, the idea of lugging around a mammoth binder filled with ideas and plans seems obsolete (and down right silly). There are quicker, smarter ways to prepare. On the other hand, the thought of a Bridezilla with a BlackBerry that utterly scares me. Check out the apps listed in the article and see if they can help you from the moment you put on the engagement ring, to the day you put on the wedding ring.
Wedding Checklist
For some, stress can be reduced by something as simple as marking something completed on a checklist. Guest list? Done. Wedding Dress fitting? Done. Hire Ryan as the wedding singer? Definitely done. Wedding Checklist gives a detailed To Do list for every aspect of a wedding; each entry can have a list of items that you can check off as they are completed. Each checked box is one step closer to a perfect wedding. Hopefully you don’t have to check off a surprise visit from an obsessed ex.
Wedding Checklist is available for $1.99 from BlackBerry App World.

Wedding Dresses
I haven’t seen too many of my friends pick up bridal magazines in order to check out wedding dress ideas. Rather than dog-earring pages, they’re bookmarking sites and snapping pictures using their smartphones. I’m pretty sure they’ve ventured to theringerbearer.ca to get ideas for their dress, hair, invitations and so on. You can access thousands of wedding dress images from your BlackBerry using the Wedding Dress application; the dress designs can be found on the Ring Bearer site.Wedding Dresses is free from BlackBerry App World.

Wedding Vows
I remember before I got married, my biggest worry was being able to convey how I felt through my wedding vows. I wanted to make sure everyone, especially my then-future-wife, knew what was in my heart. I can honestly say that I did not copy and paste anything from anywhere – my words were true. (awww). If you’re having trouble getting your feelings across, then take a look at the Wedding Vows application. They offer a few templates for you to use; whether you do so word for word or simply inspiration. If you’re daring enough, you can also pull out your BlackBerry and read your vows from the app. It may be the only time you’re allowed to look at your BlackBerry that day. Wedding Vows is available for $2.99 from BlackBerry App World.

Weddingella
For the PlayBook, Weddingella is prefect for managing task lists, budgets and seating. In fact, the app has a seating section where you can create and edit a layout of the reception and arrange who will sit where. In the guest list section you can keep track of who is/isn’t attending and even those who are still sitting on the fence. Weddingella is available for $3.99 from BlackBerry App World.

So these are a few suggestions for what you can use to plan your wedding. Of course there are plenty of apps that can be used for other aspects, as well. BlackBerry Travel makes it easy to plan, manage and book your honeymoon plans. Through it, you can search for hotels and flight information. During the reception there are almost always a few presentations to be seen on a TV or projector. For some, it’s a neatly organized, for others (who have a PlayBook), it’s a chance to bring the presentation to life. Flawlessly display images, videos and more with your PlayBook in presentation mode. Our own Joseph did an outstanding job of showing off the presentation possibilities. Perhaps you can also create a BBM group between you and your bridesmaids or groomsmen. The whole group can keep track of where to meet and who needs to do what. Who can forget about the fun to be had on your wedding night…and on your honeymoon. While I would normally say it’s ok to put your BlackBerry down; you may want to check out some other apps you newlyweds could…”benefit” from. You can check out a few Kevin let us know about last year.
Do you think you can make use of the apps listed above? What are you using to organize your wedding? Let us know! Congratulations Megan and Allan!
