The new year came and went with no major computer glitches, but 2000 may yet be remembered for another Y2K frenzy-the love bug. Motivated by fascination with the new millennium, by superstition or even by a relationship ultimatum, more US couples are planning weddings this year, driving unprecedented demand for everything from jewellery to caterers. Reportedly, there are more people getting married this year. The clear and simple reasons are sentimental ones.
Peoples are very superstitious about dates.
You can't pick your birth date but you can pick your wedding date. There are also a lot of jokes from people saying, at least my husband will remember how many years we've been married. While it is still too early to say just how many couples will wed this year, dressmakers and caterers have hired extra staff, major hotels across the country are running out of available weekends and wedding consultants are booked solid. For many, it was the appeal of the new millennium that led them to a 2000 wedding, but some also used the date as an ultimatum that we get married in 2000. The strong demand for 2000 weddings has driven prices up as couples compete for limited numbers of banquet halls, photographers and bands.
