Wedding planners tell us there is a rush to reserve the date of 12-13-14 for tying the knot as it will be the last time such a sequence will be available and also easy to remember plus it also falls on a Saturday. My brother's wedding took place on 6-11-66 which was a popular sequence for "numbers" players as this was pre-lottery times. In my youth Philadelphia was ethnically divided - with Polish in the northeast, Italians in South Philly and the southwest was Irishtown - you were identified by your parish and there were many large families. It was an era when, if marriage was on your mind, you reserved the hall and then you went out to find a bride. Ouch!
