7-7-07 The "perfect" day..but perfect for what?

[DM was on fire!]

Also, some people out there might decide it is the perfect day to unleash something terrible upon our society.

I for one predict Al Gore will announce his candidacy on 7-7-07.

He'll probably appear at Live Earth US and announce it.

Fidds - Sounds like the exact opposite it happening to you.

Weather was perfect, and we had a BBQ round some families house

Not so good for Fidds though

Turns out I'm still in LA (heading to Las Vegas tomorrow). However, I got to see a bunch of stuff out at Long Beach as well as the Griffith Observatory.

Well, we knew that wasn't going to happen, no chance of seeing marcus!

For no real reason, someone bookmark this thread and bring it up next august when the next one of these happens....

Oh how i hate the naughties.

Well...


The flowers were the wrong color. She wanted pink/orange combination flowers with little willow branches sticking out. She ended up getting the wrong flowers. They were still gorgeous, but were roses and purple irises. Her food was late. The florist forgot her bootineers. No one was organized and we didn't know where to sit or when to walk in or what order to do it in.

Now me, I am always being told how I don't act my age. Everything I say is ignorant and very embarrassing.
My dad talks way too much to everyone.
Mom is embarrassing.

My sister didn't want anything to do with us before the wedding, and had all her friends wait on her and be brides maids.

She was so upset about things not going perfectly like she planned and dreamed. Nothing was like she expected.

But now she blames her mother for not being there to help her dress, when she had already isolated her. She says her family walked around like we had a stick up our butts all day. But were were actually walking on eggshells all day trying to smile and make small talk without doing something embarrassing. When she asked where things were and for us to get things we didnt know where things were. Her friends had to find things.

But now she blames us and my mother.

She went off on my mother so bad that she cried all night long.

Don't expect perfection on your wedding day and don't expect it because of some numbers lining up to make it seem like a perfect day.

You can dream of a perfect wedding, and you can plan it, but nothing turns out like you dream and plan.


I wonder if any of the other 38,000 weddings went better?

I won 3/4 softball games in my tourament. Today we're going for gold!

[Asthaloth]

I played Kotor, became the most Powerful Sith in the Universe at the expense of vast swathes of the Republic and generally enacted my megalomania.
Wasn't that special 'a day, really.

Some oddity later, but it was already the 8th, so that doesn't count towards the 7th.

So meh.

my 7/7/07 wasnt too great.

I went to work, which was horribly slow for a saturday (even though the mall was crowded). I finished my book. delt with people who cant drive going to and from work (speed limit is 60...not 50 folks...). one of the back windows in my car is messed up so i cant put it down anymore plus my air conditioner doesnt work.

I thought 7-7-07 was supposed to be lucky?

That sounds exactly like my boyfriend's sister. Her wedding was two years ago, and she's still mad at him for decorating her car in toilet paper and for leaving the reception for fifteen minutes. She ignores the fact that the whole family worked incredibly hard and paid for all of it(though they can't even afford to send him to college). She says her perfect day was ruined, they're "all siding with him," and she still brings up the toilet paper thing constantly.
Jeesh. My wedding is going to be in someone's backyard and everyone's going to be wearing jeans. Whatever goes wrong, goes wrong.

definately a horrible day.

I'm sorry, MarchingDuck.
It's interesting that countless people expected that day to be so wonderful, and yet it turned out to be dreadful for so many. I'm now happy that mine was just mediocre. =\

[3lla]

it turns out 7-7-07 was the day with the most weddings in the world!
ahahah! I actualy saw 5 wedding just sitting in the car whilst my step dad went blabbering on about something. Personally on the day I was actualy on a flight with loads and loads of turbulence and really really really bad food. Then when I was in the airport I was put into a detention rrom simply because one little box wasnt filled in on a form I signed. The only good thing was about the 7th july was that in the detention room I met a really nice guy(who cute too!)

Other than that my dad pretty much sucked.

Every day is dreadful for someone. The families of about 1,500 people a day for starters.
