Record Weddings Held On 12/12/12

Register offices across the UK reported an increase in wedding bookings on 12/12/12 as couples opted to say 'I do' on the last day of the century.

Their marriage certificate will show a match in the date, month and year.

It will be just over 89 years before 01/01/2101 comes around.

Fifty-one ceremonies took place in the popular Gretna Scottish wedding destination.

•09/09/09 47 ceremonies

•10/10/10 46

•11/11/11 53

•12/12/12 51

Marcus du Sautoy, Professor of Mathematics at Oxford University and President of the Mathematical Association told the BBC that people are drawn to these dates because they see a pattern.

He commented:"Although it looks trivial people being drawn to this date, actually it's a very powerful way of looking at the world.

"I think it's less trivial than it looks.

"We are all incredibly lucky to be living in this 12-year period because it's pretty fallow after that."
