Many engaged couples are getting married today (my son is going to one wedding) as this will be an easy date to remember and, hopefully, a lucky day for such an important occasion. I hope it turns out to be true.

Lucky in love
158 couples take the plunge on 7-7-7, said to be the luckiest day of the century.

THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER
SANTA ANA – The groom wore an electronic, flashing belt buckle. The bride wore her lucky bra. And the deputized wedding commissioner hummed the Bridal March.
Loudly.
OK, not every ceremony Saturday was romantic. But they sure were lucky.
That's why a whopping 158 couples rushed to the Old County Courthouse in Santa Ana – to marry on what many considered the luckiest day of the century: July 7, 2007, better depicted as 7-7-7.
Why? Some said seven means "completion." Others said "perfection." Others said it's "God's number," pointing to the Seven Seas and the seven days it took God to create Heaven and Earth. Some said Japan's annual Festival of Love falls on July 7.
