More than 31,000 Brit couples tie the knot on 10/10/10 | More than 31,000 couples in Britain rushed to tie the knot on October 10, 2010, as they believed it to be the luckiest day of the century. The first couple
to get married were Kevin Caine, 28, and Hazel Clyde, 29, from Dundee , who among
others believed that the auspicious date would bring them luck. They married on
a candle-lit waterfront veranda of the Hilton Hotel in the Scottish city at one
minute past midnight. Rolf Heff, 40, and his bride Pirkko Batteiger, 44, both
German, also took their vows just after midnight in a romantic outdoor ceremony
at an ancient site in Loch Finlaggan, on the tiny Scottish island of Islay . Heff
said he wanted the wedding on 10/10/10 so he "would never forget" their anniversary.
"It was a dream come true, it was so perfect outside, I have never seen so many
stars. 10/10/10 is a very special day, everyone was happy, you could feel the
energy," the Daily Express quoted him as saying. Peter Kirk and Caroline Taylor
were also in Scotland after eloping to Gretna Green in traditional style and getting
hitched at the famous blacksmith's shop. The couple wanted to pick a memorable
date - and it was also Caroline's 32nd's birthday. Their wedding was among 43
at Gretna Green , compared to just 10 for a typical Sunday in October. Plasterer
Mitchell Glencross, 32, and carer Melanie Balazs, 26, from Carlisle, said their
vows in Gretna at exactly 10 minutes past 10, and he revealed that the timing
had happened "by chance". In Chinese culture the number 10 means perfection and
one register office in Beijing married 700 couples alone. Numerologists claim
the once-in-a-century date symbolises a powerful moment of rebirth.
