Summer wedding plans are in full swing and while June tends to be a more popular month to tie the knot, this year 7/7/07 is trump. Bride and groom-to-be’s all over are scrambling to get lucky-in-love and wed on this day.
Why is this date so lucky? I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase ‘lucky number seven‘. The number itself is often considered lucky, but if you visit a casino, it’s even luckier. On many slot machines, a line of three seven’s means you won the jackpot. Those that wed on 7/7/07 are hoping for a jackpot in love. And why not? After all, every couple could use a little extra luck.
The popularity of this date stems not only from luck, but for others, the number 7 is considered holy and sacred. The religious significance of this number to Christians comes from the Bible, which says that God rested on the 7th day after creating the Earth.
Of course, there are other added benefits as well: an easy to remember anniversary date and the date’s close proximity to July 4th, making it easier for out of town guests already getting time off.
For those newly engaged or those yet to book their date, if 7/7/07 sounds appealing, you better move fast. According to wedding vendors, it’s the most popular wedding date they’ve ever seen.
For those that aren’t lucky enough to wed on 7/7/07, they could try 6/7/08, another cool date that wedding planners are already hedging their bets on.
