Rush for 6/6/6 weddings

Register offices in Holland have been flooded with requests for couples who want to get married on the 6/6/06.

They believe it is because of the reference in Revelations to 666 as the 'Number of the Beast'.

So far, 17 couples have applied to marry in the Dutch city of Enschede on June 6 so far. Normally there are only two to three weddings in the city on a Tuesday.

Fourteen weddings are planned for June 6 in the central district of Rotterdam, compared with a usual figure of six to eight weddings.

The authorities in Arnhem said nine couples have signed up for 6-6-6 dates, far more than on any other Tuesday. "Tuesday is normally a very quiet day," a spokesperson said.

1. WTF? Who gets married on a Tuesday?

2. I got married on 2/2/2, but I can't say that I would

want to be married on 6/6/6!!

13. We were trying for that date....

But the venue we really wanted was only available on 2/9. I have to say that our marriage is still quite strong, despite that shaky start. :)

3. It's all just numbers, and

besides, the latest news is that 666 is wrong. I think it is now 616 ...

[Shell Beau]

4. Still... It is weird.

7. Uh oh...

One of my very dear friends will be upset to hear that. She was born 6/16. (In '66, no less!)

[Shell Beau]

11. That's a double whammy!

:o

19. So I remembered it right. Thanks! nt.

[xmas74]

20. No prob.

What always kills me is that most think of it as the mark of the beast yet many scholars believe that it was a code for an emperor (most cite Nero as the subject).

5. Rush Limbaugh is getting married again on 6/6/06?

:wtf:

Is this something that we really need to know about?

:puke:

[yellowcanine]

8. That would be appropriate as 666 is the mark of the beast.

[Strong Atheist]

9. I think that they now say that it is 616. This is recent news,

they say the old number was a mis-translation ...

[KitchenWitch]

10. I got married on 9/9/00

[xmas74]

18. They think (pretty sure of it)

that I conceived on 9/9/99.

[alkaline9]

12. 6/6/06 will come and go but 4/20 comes around every year!

If and when I get married (again :-( ) it will be on that day!

[Mad_Dem_X]

14. And 4:20 comes twice a day

B-)

[REDKING]

15. Maybe it's Tom and Katie.

[KamaAina]

16. And to think I thought it was gonna be in Massachusetts

where all those eeee-ville dark-sided ho-mo-sexules get married to box turtles. :sarcasm:

21. What is interesting is that I am due in June

however I was early with my daughter. I keep wondering if just maybe will be giving birth on this day and my child's birthday would be 06-06-06???
