7/7/07 Weddings Day


I am sure you have read the stories by now about the number of weddings held today. ABC New reports:

From tying the knot or hitting the slots, on 7/7/07, a lot of people are hoping to get lucky.

And if Pythagoras were still around, he probably would be too. The mathematician decreed the number seven lucky in ancient Greece, cementing in Western culture a belief that also reigns in Asia and the Middle East.


Wedding-planning Web site TheKnot.com has had 38,000 couples register 7/7/07 as their wedding date -- more than triple the number of couples getting married on any other day of the year.

"That concentration will make it the single largest wedding day in American history," said Carley Roney, founder and editor of TheKnot.com.


I too found myself in the middle of the wedding day marathon. I had three request to do ceremonies, but choose to accept only one. Stewart and Sarah Uzzell tied the note at the historic "Old Mill" in North Little Rock. The 7AM slot was taken so we settled for the 8AM slot. Congratulations Mr and Mrs Uzzell!
