"Hey, it's 11/12/13!"

If I hear one more person say this, they're getting poked in the eye.

There were all sorts of weird weddings on the Today show this morning. I guess I don't see why it's a big deal.

But its 11/12/13!  They are consecutive numbers!  That won't happen again until 12/13/14!  A whole year and one month away!! 

**rolling eyes**

Never understood the whole 'let's get married on this xx/xx/xx because it's speshul cuz i can has consecutive/same/whatever numbers.'

Isn't the day going to be special and memorable because it is your wedding day?! Isn't that enough?!

Not for these special snowflakes it's not!  But I guess they don't think about how non-special that date is going to be when 25,000+ other couples get married that same day.

This. I take pleasure in times like 11:11 and when my odometer turns to 12,345 or something like that... However - it doesn't make any sense to get married because of that. Anniversaries will never reflect it (11/12/14, 11/12/15...). 

Also, it's a fucking Tuesday. Seriously?

I always think how much easier it'd be for my FI to remember our anniversary date if we married on a numbered day like 11/11/11....but then I'd know he would still forget.

I got married on 10-01-11. Cool binary! Wanted the 8th but it was a race weekend, hotel prices double. So moved it up a week. My ex got remarried on 9-10-11. Yay for him. Found out a year later that I stole October. Oops?

We picked our wedding date based on numbers. We write the date here (Australia) DD/MM/YY so we are getting married on 14.04.14 and its a MONDAY! Im actually excited about other brides sharing our wedding date and I know of at least 5 others on my local knotties board with the same date. Who gets married on a Monday??? WE DO!

I roll my eyes at anyone who gets married on a consecutive number date or all the same number date, etc.

CommitmentCat

This conversation reminded me of something I saw on facebook the other day. I don't really get the hype about consecutive number dates, but this I do get...

ROFL! Congrats! As I think Mondays are the work of the underworld I don't think I could ever get married on a Monday. You are so brave!

Mondays make me go Garfield.

missmo14

Haha I feel the same way about Mondays at home. But when im on vacation, which we will be for our wedding, Mondays are bearable :-)

@AddieL73 - People pick wedding dates for all types of reasons. Instead of eye rolling or side eyeing, just dont go if it isn't convenient for you.

AddieCake

It's got nothing to do with whether or not it's convenient. It has everything to do with choosing it b/c they think it's "cool." Those dates have no sentimental value to the people picking them, and I think it's lame when they do.

People who plan on having a PPD the following weekend.  At least 2 people interviewed on my local radio station mentioned that they were having their "wedding" over the weekend.

One of the things we like about our date (11/2/13) is that 11+2=13.  Lame, I know.  But the reason we picked it was because it the first Saturday in November and we wanted a late fall wedding on a Saturday and were afraid doing it any later would nix any chances of having an outdoor ceremony.  We would have picked it no matter what the numbers said.

I'm secretly  happy we got married in 2013 though because 13 has been my favorite number my entire life, was my number on every single sports team I've ever been on, and was also  my randomly assigned number at my first ever big time horse show and I won everything in sight at that show.

*duplicate*   This seems to happen a lot lately.

I usually roll my eyes at "special" number days, but had to do a double take at the local news. Baby born on 11-12-13 shown in super adorable picture with big sister beaming at him- and she was born on 8-9-10. Those are amazing odds. Truly adorable picture here: http://www.king5.com/news/editors-pick/Seattle-newborn-and-big-sister-have-very-special-birthdays--231671411.html
