Google as Wedding Planner?

This morning I was informed by a Wedding Planner friend that a new iPhone app offered to "Plan your Wedding" from your iPhone. She reacted with the same kind of disdain that we DJ do when you say "i-Pod wedding"

Fast forward to this afternoon and I am alerted on Twitter via Mashable.com that Google is now offering to help DIY wedding couples, well DIY!

Google Weddings is a dedicated page for couples looking to leverage the various Google products (Spaces, Docs, Picasa, Picnik) to help them plan their nuptials.  The site is populated with a series of pre-formatted templates that can be personalized and distributed.

They've managed to get Michelle Rago the Queen of Destination Weddings to sign on-board as the "visionary" lending her design sensibilities and considerable clout to the endeavor.  And to sweeten the pot they are offering $25,000.00 to one lucky couple to help them pull off their dream wedding.

So what do you think?   Google in the wedding biz?  Good thing?  Bad thing?  Discuss.....
