Rush for 6/6/6 weddings
Registry offices in Holland have been flooded with requests for couples who want to get married on the 6/6/06.
They believe it is because of the reference in Revelations to 666 as the 'Number of the Beast'.
So far, 17 couples have applied to marry in the Dutch city of Enschede on June 6 so far. Normally there are only two to three weddings in the city on a Tuesday.
Fourteen weddings are planned for June 6 in the central district of Rotterdam, compared with a usual figure of six to eight weddings.
The authorities in Arnhem said nine couples have signed up for 6-6-6 dates, far more than on any other Tuesday. "Tuesday is normally a very quiet day," a spokesperson said.
