I guess, one of the most interesting things that you can ever do with Google is that you can plan your wedding with all the tools and services it offers. If you think this is not possible, it is, because someone just did and just got married.

I’ve blogged before that we can convert a currency using Google Search. I use this search feature frequently, and have assumed that it is updated daily, until last friday.
