iStock/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) — Plenty of couples are heading to the altar Saturday to take advantage of the last sequential date in decades.
TheKnot.com said at least 20,000 couples had registered on its website to wed on 12/13/14.
One couple told ABC News the special date meant plenty of competition when planning their wedding.
“There were a lot of venues that said ‘we have four or five other brides,'” said Zila Acosta. “I confirmed at the beginning of the year.”
At the famous Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas, couples lined up to say their “I dos” on the special date. Some couples even chose the drive-thru option for speed.
“People are very superstitious when it comes to choosing their wedding date,” said Charlotte Richards, owner of the Little White Wedding Chapel.
One couple was so intent on celebrating the sequential date they said their “I dos” at 12:13 and 12:14.
The next sequential date will happen in 20 years on Jan. 1, 2034, or 89 years on Jan. 2, 2103.
