Re: 777 Brides Put on ABC News!

I saw this too - My sister's friend called her, knowing that was my wedding date, so my sister called me. One thing is for sure - everyone remembers this date! One time (months ago) I mentioned the date to my chiropractor's biller, and just saw her again this month. She told me she was at a New Year's Eve party with another couple getting married 7/7/07, and told them about me. So it definitely stands out in people's minds!

The story was interesting, but the astrologist seemed like a flake, basically backpedaling about her on-camera comment that it was not a good day to make a promise since Mercury would be in retrograde. Later, the anchor asked the reporter what that meant, and she said that she didn't know, but that the astrologer told her the reception would be fine on 7/7/07, just do the vows another day.

I'm sure we'll see more stories like this as the date gets closer and people realize that 777 is a real date this year.

What has marriage got to do with the panet Mercury? We picked are days and it is a great day to say I do if we really mean it. It will work out. Bear in mind that news stations may be looking to find something to make their story more interestin as well.

Re: 777 Brides Put on ABC News!

too funny... Well we already said our I do's but we will be doing them again on 7/7/07!!! and having a HUGE party...

That is a terrible thing to say! I'm sure the 'I Do's' will be great no matter where Mercury is!

I guess all the 'Eyewitness News' stations across the country did a story last week. One of my BM's sisters passed this along from California:

Couples Betting 7/7/07 Is Lucky for Love
Wedding Planners Says Couples Betting 7/7/07 Is Lucky Day for Love


SACRAMENTO Jan 18, 2007 (AP)— Will lucky sevens result in wedded bliss
for the lucky in love?

Wedding planners say July 7th or 7/7/07 as the date appears in print,
has become the most popular day in years to get married.

From vaunted Napa Valley wineries to vistas along Lake Tahoe,
California couples have booked up thousands of churches and reception
sites hoping to begin wedded bliss on the lucky date.

'It's the most popular date ever,' said Tonya Simmons, wedding
specialist with Boomtown Casino Hotel on the outskirts of Reno, where
lining up sevens more often means winning a slot-machine jackpot.

Richard Markel, head of the 800-member Association for Wedding
Professionals International, said group members first began noticing
extra interest in the novelty date last year.

A popular Sacramento wedding location, the Arden Hills Resort Club and
Spa, had three openings for weddings on the day all have been booked,
said sales director Rick Francis.

'I guess more people are getting into numerology,' Markel said, adding
that July 7th will not be lucky for bargain hunters. The increased
demand will drive up costs for everything from caterers to florists,
he said.

Arlene Hixson and her fiance, Tony Goligowski, booked the date at
Boomtown almost two years in advance. The first Saturday in July,
Hixson figures, has another benefit for her fiance.

'I figured, that way, he can't forget it,' she said.
