It is the ninth day of the ninth month of the year 2009 and don't we know it in the wedding industry! After the fever surrounding the seventh of the seventh two thousand and seven weddings, once again wedding venues across the globe have been inundated with requests for couples to marry on this date. Las Vegas has once again been at the centre of wedding chaos as couples queue to wed with many being turned down due to numbers.
Couples across the world have not only picked today's actual date for all the nines but have really gone to town and are also fighting for 9am and 9pm slots at nine minutes past the hour, with 9 or 99 guests and in some cases with almost everything they can think of being related back in some way to the number 9!
So why such craziness over these quirky dates? Couples quite simply love the symbolism and the symmetry of these dates and the fact that the next time the date will come along will be in another century. Some feel that the date spells good luck, while others are purposely avoiding the date saying that it is too closely related to 666. Some even say that they picked this date simply because it will be easier to remember future anniversaries! Whatever the reason, there are simply tens of thousands of couples opting for today's date ...... ah how romantic!
