There’s been a bonanza of weddings scheduled throughout the nation for Saturday, July 7, 2007 – or 07/07/07.

“Couples are definitely superstitious,” says Kathleen Murray, deputy editor of TheKnot.com, a wedding planning Web site. “I think they’re looking for a great fun date, and 7-7-7 is very lucky.”

Among the brides and grooms who have registered at the Web site, 655 couples are planning weddings on next July 7, compared with the 424 who have selected one of the other three Saturdays that month.
