- <p> As the dearly betrothed quickly find out, organizing a
- wedding is no honeymoon. Between the popping of the question and
- the uncorking of the champagne comes a logistical nightmare.
- Seizing on that idea, a newlywed couple has developed a computer
- program that promises to "let you think of your wedding as a
- series of small, easily controllable events." The Wedding
- Planner (price: $49.95) helps marrieds-to-be keep track of
- invitations, RSVPS, gifts, reservations, thank-you notes and the
- running tally of expenses. It even reminds the bride when to
- order her dress. "The average wedding costs more than $10,000.
- This program can save a lot of time, energy and money," claims
- Sergei Scurfield, president of Calgary-based Ninga Software,
- which markets the program. The company introduced the planner
- last month and expects to sell 10,000 copies by year's end. The
- software, currently sold at Radio Shack stores, will be
- available in other outlets soon. There are no plans for a
- Divorce Planner, but a computer game called the Civil War (not
- the domestic variety) should be out early next year.
