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.

The sixth day of June is also a popular wedding date in the cities of Utrecht, Groningen and Nijmegen this year when compared to previous years.

In Amsterdam, one couple wanted to marry at 6 minutes past 6 on the morning of June 6. Local officials decided they could not perform the ceremony so early in the morning.

Registry offices in Leeds and Manchester said they had only a couple of bookings for weddings on June 6 so far but said more could follow.

In Cambridge registry office spokeswoman Carolyn Willis said: "We don't have any bookings yet, but I have been trying to get people to sign up for this date, I thought it would be fun."

You definitly aren't the sharpest of the bunch

Isnt that sweet.

That is a really BAD dayto get married. I would call it a jinx

Ha ha ha,

That's what I called owned.

They say 6/6/6/ num is an omen...
666 is the Number of the Beast in most versions of the Christian Bible, in the Book of Revelation.

666 would be cool. I got engaged on the 12.31.2005.. maybe I should have a marriage then. hehe :)

Eh? I don't get it.

haha what a load of bullshit.. I bet it's the husbands wanting a date thats really hard to forget for anniversaries.

True. But smart.

oh man IM prolly getting married in June.. i should push for the 6th.. man that would rock.. if another day wasn't already our "anniversary"

Well, I for one am not going out that day.

would you refuse to outside with $6.66 in your wallet too?

I wasnt being serious :)

The comment was made because my (birth)name is actually Damian.

I didnt even think that day was commin up..
wow..

Congrats on getting engaged :)

The Hebrew equivalent of our "w" is the letter "vav" or "waw". The numerical value of vav is 6. So the English "www" transliterated into Hebrew is "vav vav vav", which numerically is 666.

True, a friend o mine already planned to marry on this day...seems a bit ridiculous to me, choosing the right girl is more important than choosing the right day...
