10/10/10 Luck For Some Couples Happy Day Means Marriage
NEW YORK CITY : 10/10/10! There are a number of superstitions surrounding
today's date. In mathematics, 101010 equals 42 in binary, which is the
answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything according
to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. In Chinese culture, 10 is a lucky
number. For what it's worth, it's the atomic number of Neon. And all of
these reasons combined are sending a massive number of people to the altar.
According to the Daily News, about 33,000 people are registered to marry
today on the Wedding Chanel and The Knot websites, about six times as many as
average. One couple said, "We're Chinese, and there's a Lunar calendar for
lucky days. Ten is a lucky number. 10/10/10 happens to be a very, very
good day for getting married." Another Staten Island woman, Alexis Borkowski,
said she has been planning to marry today for two years. "I wanted a long
engagement so we would have time to save up and plan, not thinking there
would be a million other people getting married on that day."
