\nvendors that will be spread thin with celebrations this Saturday.\n<\/p>\n
\nhappening in Boston is a national phenomenon. Event planners across the
\ncountry say July 7, 2007, is the most desirable wedding date in
\nhistory, thanks to the fact that it falls on a Saturday.\n<\/p>\n
\nusually has 12,000 brides registered to get married on any given
\nSaturday in July, according to Christa Vagnozzi, the site’s senior
\neditor. This Saturday, 38,000 "knotties" are getting married.\n<\/p>\n
\nKnot’s guide for couples having their lucky day on the lucky day
\nincludes suggestions such as "Give your wedding party iPod shuffles
\nfilled with your favorite seven songs," and "Do your first dance to the
\nPrince song ‘7.’ "\n<\/p>\n
\narguably the most important day in a couple’s life together," Vagnozzi
\nsaid. "I’m getting the sense that when they got engaged and realized
\n07-07-07 was coming they said, ‘Wow, let’s book that day.’ A lot of
\nsites have been booked years in advance."\n<\/p>\n
\nof Hopkinton, N.H., and John Topliffe, 27, of Weston, are getting
\nmarried Saturday. Simakauskas has made an embroidery to display at the

\nOne Love, 7 07 07."\n<\/p>\n
\nHennessy, an art teacher from Winchester, will marry Ted Murray, a
\nconstruction worker from Burlington, on Saturday. The two met six years
\nago at the Billerica bar the Emerald Rose and got engaged in December
\nof 2005. They waited until they felt right about a date. Her mother
\nsuggested 6-6-06. "I said, ‘No, [that’s] the devil. . . . How about
\n7-7-7?’ Obviously, there’s the luck thing. We’re not big gamblers or
\nanything. I just like numbers."\n<\/p>\n
\nrefused to marry her 29-year-old fiance, Aaron Levy of Sudbury, until
\nhe turned 30, too. His birthday is Friday, so the couple scheduled the
\nwedding for the very next day in Rangeley, Maine.\n<\/p>\n
\nnumbers and symmetry, I was born 7-6-77, and my wedding is 7-7-07,"
\nLevy said. "I don’t know what it all means, but it must mean something."\n<\/p>\n
\nMullis of Malden is having her lucky 7s wedding in Las Vegas, a city
\nthat will see a spike in tourism this weekend thanks to the 07-07-07
\nwedding craze, according to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors
\nAuthority.\n<\/p>\n
\nDecember 2005. They couldn’t decide on a date but eventually noticed
\n07-07-07 on the calendar. Most of the Vegas chapels were already
\nbooked, but they were able to reserve ceremony time at the Vegas
\nAdventure Wedding Chapel, which is performing at least 70 weddings on
\nSaturday.\n<\/p>\n
\nevent planners, the 7s have meant a business boom. The already-busy
\nwedding season has taken on a new urgency, with caterers, wedding
\nbands, and venues squeezing in as many Saturday ceremonies as possible.\n<\/p>\n
\nKahn, a Boston-area justice of the peace, said she usually performs two
\nto three weddings on a Saturday but will perform four services this
\nweekend. She’ll end the night by attending a family wedding in
\nMansfield.\n<\/p>\n
\n07-07-07 happens once a century, wedding vendors say the number hype
\nwill continue. Audra Siman, whose Brookline company Siman Entertainment
\ncoordinates wedding music, said the industry is already getting the
\nsense that the popularity of 07-07-07 is making 08-08-08 the next hot
\ndate.\n<\/p>\n
\nStates, Siman says, brides who missed out on 07-07-07 will make it a
\nbig deal.\n<\/p>\n
