想在今年完成终身大事的情侣，可以考虑将婚礼定在12月13日。错过今年12/13/14大吉日，得再等20年，下一个完美连续日期是1/2/34(2034年1月2日)。 在美国，至少已有约2万对情侣将在12月13日共结连理，那一天多数热门喜宴地点早早地被抢订一空。 不过，也有人不确定13是不是个好数字，因为在西方文化里13是个不吉利的数字。 然而今年的12月13日注定要迎来婚礼潮，因为这个特殊的日期难得一见，因而显得很特别。 Like other “iconic dates” before it, Dec. 13, 2017, is prompting couples in central Ohio and elsewhere to book it as their wedding day. And, based on its billing, the second Saturday in December — commonly called the sequential 12/13/14 — represents the final chance of the century to exchange vows on such a distinct date. According to a yearly David’s Bridal survey, 20,000 couples nationwide are expected to marry on 12/13/14. (About 7,000 couples, the retailer reported, wed a year earlier, on Saturday, Dec. 14.) Kayla Smith of Upper Arlington — who remembers the buzz surrounding July 7, 2007 (7/7/07) — had wanted her wedding on such a date. She got one, though, by accident: Not until the morning after setting the date did she realize the unusual nature of Dec. 13 this year. “A lot of things happened, and I forgot about that,” said the 23-year-old, who will marry Nicholas Strata, 28, at the Statehouse. |
