07 07 07
7th July 2007, the hottest date for weddings this year.....blessings to all wedding suppliers.
What's the perfect storm of wedding dates? Try a day that's composed of nothing but lucky numbers, has significance in many cultures, and falls right in the peak of wedding season. All the cards fall into place on July 7, 2007, better known to superstitious brides as 7/7/07.
What's the Deal?
Couples are often apt to stick with wedding traditions that are considered good luck. Tying tin cans behind the getaway car, for example, is said to ward off evil spirits (and you thought it was just to occupy the groomsmen). The number seven follows suit since "Lucky Number 7" is a jackpot for gamblers, and 7/7/07 happens only once every 100 years, which gives the event a once-in-a-lifetime feel. Pair that with the fact that July is always the most popular month to get married (it's when 11 percent of weddings take place), and 7/7/07 has become one of the most highly prized wedding dates in recent memory.
Why is 7 Significant?
In cultures and religions around the world, the number seven is recurring and almost always positive. In Chinese culture seven represents "togetherness," an appropriate notion for a newly married couple, and in Japanese mythology there are seven lucky gods, which personify earthly happiness. In Judaism God rested on the seventh day, and there are seven sacraments in the Roman Catholic faith. Seven is a sacred proportion in Islam, and Buddha is said to have taken seven symbolic steps at birth.
Other Ways to Incorporate 7
While 7/7/07 has a nice ring to it (and makes it practically impossible for husbands to forget an anniversary), even couples who aren't getting married on July 7 can work the lucky number into their wedding in unique ways.
Start your ceremony at 7 p.m.
Have seven bridesmaids and seven groomsmen for a symmetrical and auspicious wedding party.
Serve a seven-course meal to incorporate the number into your catering.
Do your first dance to the Prince song "7".
Carry a bouquet filled with seven types of flowers.
Cut into a seven-layer cake made of seven flavors, or offer seven options on a dessert buffet.
Serve Seagram's 7 and 7UP signature cocktails.
Give your wedding party iPod shuffles filled with your favorite seven songs.
Give guests scratch-off tickets in glassine envelopes with "lucky in love" stickers.
