Charles Akula, who was born in India and lives in North Potomac, Md., helped talk his daughter into creating a Web site for her upcoming nuptials. And all of my family are in India, so I thought it would be good to show them what we are doing here. No postage, no customs, no immigration. People can see it any time from anywhere.

Unless, of course, they're too busy thinking up the next big thing.
