It is widely
believed that the date - 7-7-07 (the seventh day of the seventh
month of the year 2007) has good luck . Hence there had been a mad
rush among Indian- Americans to get married on that date. Couples
have been advised that the date is very auspicious according to
the Hindu calendar. It is also the seventh day of the seventh month
on the Hindu lunar calendar. Similarly, many first-generation Chinese-Americans
have also decided to get married on July 7.
According to numerology, 7-7-2007 reduces to a five (7+7+2+0+0+7=23,
then 2+3=5). Hence there seems to be not much significance attached
with this date. Five literally means chaos.
Current estimates predict there will be 4 times as many weddings
on that day as there would be on a normal Saturday in July. Many
chose it because they thought it made for a cool and memorable wedding
anniversary.

feature the number 7, most notably as the day that God rested after
creating the earth. And 7-7 is the day of the annual lovers festival
in Japan.
