It's amazing how certain dates can be the trigger to move people into action.
There's always a big rush and buzz for romantic couples to 'tie the knot' on triple digit dates! It's probably a good excuse too, for neither party to forget an anniversary on such a memorable date!
So recently we've seen - 09/09/2009, 10/10/2010 and 11/11/2011 and of course you can go back much further. Some people have a strong feeling of spirituality on these triple convergence dates, others have some sense of beginnings and endings. But the one thing you can guarantee, is that these dates create a frenzy to make something happen. No real logic to it - but does that matter?
Bookings will already be rolling in for weddings, vow renewals, naming ceremonies and other life changing events for 12/12/2012. If your instinct tells you to join the crowds - then get your diary out now and make some calls. Gretna Green saw at least 50 weddings this Friday 11th November, compared to its normal dozen or so that makes up a typical November Friday!
As it happens, I was conducting a funeral service for a lovely family on Friday 11th November. Of course that date couldn't be booked in advance - but I sense that in time, they'll look back and smile at the coincidence.
So are you up for making the 12/12/2012 a day to remember? At the moment.........my diary is free that day!
