GOOD EATS

Here comes the bride. About 560 to be exact.

Only coming around once every one hundred years, brides around the U.S. are taking advantage of the luck filled day of November 11, 2011 to tie the knot with their future hubby.

In a study performed by David’s Bridal, Miami has ranked third as the city for most brides registered to get hitched on this historic date with approximately 560 brides already registered.  According to David’s Bridal, the list keeps on growing.

The company says that  eleven has long been considered one of the most positive numbers, signifying rebirth and new beginnings making it a lucky number in love and life.

Los Angeles took the top spot with 718 brides registered to say their “I dos”  followed by Chicago (572), New York (507), and Dallas(461). Washington D.C. fell short, coming  in at last place with only 310 registered nuptials.

Not only is it considered lucky for the couple, but for hubbies to be too!

With future husbands worrying about remembering their wedding anniversaries, many couples have chosen to put on the ol’ ball and chain on 11/11/11 in order avoid forgetting their beloved day for years to come.

What to expect on this day?

Cities around the U.S should get ready for approximately 570,000 feet of aisle runner fabric, 114,000 rings exchanged and 57,000 bouquets thrown.
