Weddings aren’t really the first thing that come to mind when you think of “tech” but technology really does surround everything these days, including the all-important trip down the aisle. This week we’re serving up some awesome wedding-related websites, apps and more for brides and grooms. I’ve looked at so many wedding resources over the last week that I’ve started inadvertently incorporating the terminology into my conversations. I told my wife just today I was excited about expanding to a brider audience (instead of broader).
