Going to the Chapel

*Can you feel the love in the air this month? Or maybe that's just antihistamines making you feel lightheaded and giddy.

Either way, June is a favorite for weddings, and it's not too late to start planning for next year.

For overall details, there are several sites that walk you all the way through to the thank-you note stage. These eight Web sites are fairly complete and easy to maneuver:

* http://www.ourmarriage.com offers a guide for planning everything from the moment the question is popped until vows are exchanged.

* http://www.usbridalguide.com offers tips on picking out a ring, on a countdown calendar on showers, plus bride and groom checklists and honeymoon suggestions.

* http://www.weddingchannel.com, among other things, lets wedding guests make travel plans and access the registries--stores include Crate & Barrel, Macy's, Williams-Sonoma, and Neiman Marcus. The guest section includes articles on topics such as etiquette. The couple can also create their own site for well-wishers and family to get the latest "engaging" news on them.

* http://www.weddingnetwork.com/WO/WebObjects/WedNet.woa offers a fairly helpful planner and allows couples to register online. You can keep track of invitations and responses and build a Personal Wedding Page.

* http://www.bridaltips.com offers free wedding planning software, hints on how to avoid scams, use online registries and select photographers and florists.

* http://www.theknot.com/guestlistintro.cgi among other things, lets you manage your guest list online.

* http://www.wedding411.com gives couples a to-do list, guest manager, budget tracker and registry.

* http://www.ezweddingplanner.com offers all-in-one planning, including reception guest seating.

For couples vowing to do something different to mark their union, http://www.ultimatewedding.com lists different kinds of vows and ceremonies, from Apache blessings to a Zion wedding. It also has a decent section for bridal shower ideas and planning. The checklists can make setting things up a great deal easier. They include budget estimate work sheets and lists for the bride and groom.

Another place to find wedding traditions from various cultures is http://wedding .gogrrl.com/link/3_cultural.asp.

If kitsch is the culture you and your spouse-to-be are shooting for, you might make a gamble on the future in Las Vegas, complete with Elvis' hip wiggle and sneer of approval. Both http://www.pcap.com/weddings.htm and http://www.lasvegas.com/features /weddings offer details on the marriage process and requirements in the Nevada city.
