A Date with Destiny: 7/7/07
The New York Times recently ran an article a couple weeks ago discussing the mad rush for weddings on the coveted 7/7/7 date (link requires reg).
“Even destinations like the Caribbean that tend to slow down in the summer are seeing a surge in bookings that weekend. One bride has bought out all but nine rooms at the 40-room Jumby Bay in Antigua, plus most of the resort’s other accommodations like villas.”
USA Today ran their own article about the phenomenon.
“…a peek at theknot.com’s 1.1 million membership confirms the date’s popularity: 31,000 couples are getting married that Saturday, more than twice the average summer Saturday, when 12,000 couples say “I do.” Compare that with a week earlier, June 30, when 14,000 couples are marrying.”
I received 3 inquiries over the weekend about 7/7/07 alone, so it seems evident to me that the scrambling will continue! (Thanks, John!)
