How do I blur or darken the edges of an image on Photoshop?

Is there a way to do it without using a tool and brushing around the photo? Here is an example..

Details will be appreciated! Thanks =)

The one of bride and dad could have been done using Picasa's blur tool. I have tried it and it makes a very nice effect with very little effort. To make a more pronounced vignette, use the marque tool, feathered to the number of pixels desired, then select inverse. Darken with levels then add blur or whatever effect you want. I thought the vignette on the photo you linked to was overdone for the subject matter. Usually in wedding photography, subtle is better.
