According to the sixth annual survey from David’s Bridal, “What’s on Brides’ Minds,” an estimated 43% of brides have considered planning their wedding on an iconic date such as this one. Earlier this year, on 10/11/12, thousands of couples were married. David’s Bridal estimates that more than 7,500 brides will marry on 12/12/12 – compared to only 485 who married on this day last year. That’s a 1446% increase over the prior year!

The people at David’s Bridal spoke to a lot of amazing brides getting married on 12/12/12 who have great stories. Here are five of the most popular reasons to choose this date:

1. Couples got engaged on 11/11/11 or 10/10/10.

2. The triple number sequence is good luck to people interested in numerology.

3. Because the date is iconic – the last consecutive number sequence of the century.

4. It is easy to remember; husbands will have no excuse if they forget their anniversary.
