Amelia Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 Rush for 6/6/6 weddings Registry offices in Holland have been flooded with requests for couples who want to get married on the 6/6/06. They believe it is because of the reference in Revelations to 666 as the 'Number of the Beast'. So far, 17 couples have applied to marry in the Dutch city of Enschede on June 6 so far. Normally there are only two to three weddings in the city on a Tuesday. Fourteen weddings are planned for June 6 in the central district of Rotterdam, compared with a usual figure of six to eight weddings. The authorities in Arnhem said nine couples have signed up for 6-6-6 dates, far more than on any other Tuesday. "Tuesday is normally a very quiet day," a spokesperson said. The sixth day of June is also a popular wedding date in the cities of Utrecht, Groningen and Nijmegen this year when compared to previous years. In Amsterdam, one couple wanted to marry at 6 minutes past 6 on the morning of June 6. Local officials decided they could not perform the ceremony so early in the morning. Registry offices in Leeds and Manchester said they had only a couple of bookings for weddings on June 6 so far but said more could follow. In Cambridge registry office spokeswoman Carolyn Willis said: "We don't have any bookings yet, but I have been trying to get people to sign up for this date, I thought it would be fun."

cricket Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 Does anyone realize that it is not 6/6/6? It is really 06-06-2006. The 2 really messes things up! Quote
Nicodema Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 Actually they are all wrong. The real number of the Beast, according to the ancient manuscripts, is not 666 but 616. Google it and see! http://tinyurl.com/ch23y Quote "After such knowledge, what forgiveness?" -- T.S. Eliot
