Iconic wedding date is last of its kind this century

If you're looking for an easy way to remember your anniversary, then you might want to think about getting hitched this December.

December 13, 2014--or 12/13/14--falls on a Saturday this year, and is the last chronological date we will have this century. Last year, brides and grooms weren't so lucky. The chronological date, 11/12/13, fell on a Tuesday. An estimated 2,000 couples said "I do" regardless of the fact that their celebration would be in the middle of the work week, but because this year's date falls on a weekend, the number of weddings estimated to occur has skyrocketed. 

According to David's Bridal, there are 11,000 couples slated to tie the knot on this iconic date, which is a 178.5 percent increase over the same Saturday last year, 12/14/13. 

But apart from its being a unique anniversary date, is there any other reason why a couple would choose this date? A representative from David's Bridal says that "many couples believe that the sequential numerology is good luck. Some couples are even going one step further and getting married at 3 p.m., so their anniversary will be 12/13/14 at 15 hours (military time)."

You could of course wait 89 more years to tie the knot. "The next true iconic date will be January 2, 2103 (01/02/03). Anytime numbers align, it excites people who are into numerology," says the David's Bridal representative.
