Will 7/7/07 Be Your Lucky Day?

Wedded Couples To-Be, Gamblers And The Superstitious, Believe July 7, 2007, To Be The Lucky 7 Trifecta

(AP) 
One of them is Jennifer Dybas, 27, of Channahom, Ill., whose fiancé, Jeff Michalek, 34, is a fanatical poker player. Their wedding theme: Lucky In Love.

"We're giving out instant lottery tickets as favors, and we have little chocolate poker chips with '777 — Lucky In Love' written on them," she said. "Our cake has dice on top and a roulette wheel on the bottom, and the king and queen of hearts on it."

"We got the last ballroom at the country club, the last DJ available at the place we went to, and the last photographer at the photo studio we wanted," she said. "So the luck is starting already."

Other brides chose the day for a more practical reason. "Some brides say their husbands will have no excuse to ever forget their anniversary this way," Murray said.

Donel Hardy and John Allison figure they must be a very lucky couple indeed.

They met seven years ago, went on their first date on September 7, and then found out they and Hardy's daughter, Kelli, all share the same birthday — July 7.

They live at an elevation above 7,000 feet in Mammoth, Calif., and their post office box number is numbered in the 70s.

So it was not a stretch when they settled on a wedding date and a lucky place to get married — July 7, 2007, in Las Vegas.

The Six Flags amusement park chain is hosting seven wedding receptions at 7 a.m. at each of its 12 U.S. facilities. They're calling the event "Thrilled Ever After."

Marriott International's Ritz Carlton Hotel at Central Park in New York is offering a July 7 wedding package with a reception for 77, a seven-tier wedding cake, seven Tiffany diamonds for the bride, and a seven-night honeymoon at any Ritz in the world for $77,777.

The day has big noncommercial potential as well. Harijiwan, a yoga instructor in Santa Monica, Calif., who uses only one name, plans a gong meditation course at 7 p.m.

"The numerology on this day — 7-7-07 — is phenomenal," he wrote on his Web site. "Seven represents the aura. Three sevens equals 21 (2+1=3). Three represents the positive mind. Add the 7 p.m. hour and you have four sevens, which equals 28 (2+8=10). Ten is the radiant body."

Christians will gather in the Nashville football stadium where the Tennessee Titans play to pray and fast on the 7th.

"The number is significant in the Bible because seven represents a covenant," said Julia Richardson, a spokeswoman for the event, titled The Call. "We feel we want to make a covenant with the Lord to pursue him. Whether it's 1,000 people or 100,000 people, we feel we can bring about a change through prayer and fasting."

That "expert" guy they talked to who said that 7 was "a mystical/important/whatever number in ALL religions and cultures in history" was utterly full of ***. There are many, many cultures and religions where 7 doesn't mean a *** thing. Seriously, when will the media get people on their shows who know what they're talking about? Ugh.

I just think it's funny that 7/7/7 is followed in less than a week by ... FRIDAY THE 13TH.

And as they say, payback's a b****. So I figure that whatever luck is gained on Saturday will be given back next Friday. Superstitious logic, eh?

peach652...LOL!!! LOL!!! loved your comment!!

I don't put a lot of stock into the whole 7/7/07 number things. The only thing that might happen of note is "Balco" Barry Bonds might catch up to Hammering Hank Aaron, which would make it a crummy day for me.

755 is the record. No asterisk required.

Not if The American Elite have anything to do with it.

London Bombing False Flag Government Terrorism.

I wouldn't be surprised if OUR Government has something planned.

Well said!

The woman pictured definitely busted the image I had of Russian mail-order brides.

[bogusbones]

Maybe the couple pictured should lose 77 pounds apiece.

7-7-07 will be a lucky day indeed, Las Vegas and Atlantic City, along with all the others will generate 777,777,777 at least in revenue from weddings and gambling. But superstitious irony is priceless.

Let us not forget to add that Saturday is the 7th day of the week. Add to that 7am and 7pm, or even 7:07am and 7:07pm or the 77th second after 7am and 7pm, or..... well, how stupid do you want to get????

Did anyone bother to research if everyone or anyone was luckier on 7/7/1877? or on 7/7/777?

[shanev137]

On 07/07/07, casinos are going to literally make billions off really, really stupid people.

That's funny. My aunt is getting married in Vegas on 7/7/07. Kind of cool... although I'm not very superstitious.
