A date with destiny

The almost numerically perfect 7/7/7 — is the most sought after date by couples around the country as the ideal day for a wedding. I recently read a static stating that on this day there will be more than 40,000 couples tying the knot. The figure is roughly triple the number for any other Saturday during the month of July — and nearly 25,000 more than the number of couples who got married on the corresponding weekend a year earlier.

The lucky number 7 has been significant since the time of the ancient Babylonians, who revered the seven sacred planets, and it is a crucial numeral in the Bible, as in the seven days of the Creation to the seven petitions of the Lord’s Prayer. Could this be the magic?
