to think picking 10/10/10 as a SPECIAL day for your wedding is a bit silly

[Tokyotwist]

After all it's really 10/10/2010 .

Well, I suppose it might make it a bitveasier to remember anniversaries. An Australian friend of mine in UK married on Anzac Day - lest he forget. But he did.....

I can't remember my wedding date , so it could be handy to know it. XH has the certificate, and it's a pain because I have to speak to him now for find out

I wouldn't have picked it personally because the numbers just don't appeal. 08/09/10 looks much nicer, for example.

It's just a bit binary

I think its a great idea, would make it easy to remember! we got married on the 9th september (9/9) for this very reason!

Tis v auspicious apparently (so they said on the Today programme so it must be true :o)

We were 03/04/04. I always forget it!

That sounds awesome! Damnit, why didn't we think of that...

I would have preferred, 20/10/2010

I can totally understand it. I'd have loved to have got married on an interesting date but it was not to be.

I was looking forward to writing 10/10/10 on the board at school until I worked out it was on Sunday.

Dd's birthday is 10th October and she will be 10 yo this Sunday . Gotta be a lucky one!

I got my degree on 7/7/77 and got engaged the same day.

I was diisappointed it wasn't a school day too, Fleur -we'll have to wait until 11/11/11, which is a Friday. 12/12/12 is a Wednesday and still in term time for most schools.

i picked the day to have my c-section as my birthday, so I wouldn't forget

Chinese doctors are awfully accommodating.

my cousin got married 09/09/09. i thought it was a rather nice idea. everyone remembers their anniversary. the wedding was very extravagent too so maybe that is why it is remembered.i dpn't know, it's only been a year so time will tell if it helps people remember.

I was a bit disappointed that DS3 was early he was due on 05/06/07

We got married in the year 2000 so dh will always remember how long we've been married

How does it help you remember though?
If you get married on 10/10/10, the anniversary is on 10/10/11 then 10/10/12 etc. so remembering gets harder every year.

dh is 38 on the 10/10/10!!!
he's going to be at work and has had his pressie!

well, you know the anniversary is going to be at some point in 2011/2012/2013 etc, but if it was all a novlety at the time of 10/10/10 tehn you are going to remember that and tehn will be able to work it out teh next year aren't you?

I have a friend who married on 08/08/08 - I thought it was good going, actually!

Soooo - YABU.

when I lived in China the number of sections performed on 08/08/08 was astronomical. They must have been doing them round the clock. For the Chinese '8' is the luckiest number of all.

My friends birthday is Sept 11 - she loves it as no one ever forgets!! haha

When do you ever have to give the date of your wedding though, in full?

Apart from getting divorced (and it is fair to assume that by then the date is not quite so special for you) or proving to the palace that you have been married for 50 years to get your telegram from the Queen.

you don't have to give it but if you are into celebrating anniversaries then it is helpful to know what date to celebrate.

One of my friends chose 11 September to get married on. The were huge discounts for venues on that day as no one wanted to have that as their anniversary.

I can't beleive she told people that!

We got married on DH's birthday - he has no excuse!
