And then there was the 12th day, on the 12th month in the 12th year of the new millennium. 12-12-12 is not just a triple date sequence on the calendar, it's the last one we'll see in our lifetimes. Easy to remember for an anniversary, the date means luck and good energy for some South Floridians who are penciling in the rare numerical lineup for special events from weddings to holiday parties. 'That date resonates with the vibration and characteristics of beauty, love, laughter and fun,' said Marcy Heller, a numerologist in Delray Beach . 'Twelve is the energy of creativity, artistic beauty, harmony, celebration.' In that spirit, county clerks are expecting a wedding rush this Wednesday. 'It's a historic kind of day since there's not going to be a 13-13-13,'' said Jackie Halderman, communications manager for the Clerk's Office. 'We are offering the Historic Courthouse for folks who want to mark this wedding day in a historic way.'

Non-wedding events are also taking place including '12.12.12: The Concert for Sandy Relief,' a music fundraiser at Madison Square Garden in New York City. And Dec. 12 is also World Hoop Day, an international event that raises money to buy hula-hoops for needy kids. That event has been held on previous sequential dates such as Nov. 11, 2011 and Oct. 10, 2010.
It's funny that such a special date takes place before 'the end of the world', which will happen on December 21, 2012, according to the Mayan prophecy. Nevertheless, 12-12-12 is very popular among lovebirds, who are counting on the date to be ever-lasting.
