The alignment of New Year’s Eve this year and numerology has many couples viewing Sunday as an extra special day to tie the knot. The calendar says 12-31-23 — or 1-2-3, 1-2-3.
Rev. Nathaniel Peiman, who owns chapels in Phoenix and California, usually sees a lot of weddings happening at the end of the year.
"We always seem to get unusual demand for Dec. 31, irrespective of the anomaly here of 1-2-3, 1-2-3," he said.
Peiman says couples may choose to wed on the last day of the year to signal a new beginning. Other couples are willing to tempt fate. Peiman says Friday the 13th is also one of the more popular wedding days.
