Here’s what’s happening this week in the Chattanooga area.

Celebrating 5/25/25

Sunday, May 25, is expected to be a hugely popular wedding date in Las Vegas, known as the wedding capital of the world. That’s because the date forms a rare numerical palindrome of 5/25/25, which reads the same forward and backward. Other palindrome dates this month include the 10 days between Tuesday, May 20 (5-2-0-2-5) through Thursday, May 29 (5-2-9-2-5). Unique numerical patterns – often called “magic dates” – have continually proved to be the most popular dates for nuptials in Las Vegas. The city’s most popular wedding date in history occurred on 7/7/2007 and became known as the “Lucky 7s” day, when 4,492 couples were married. The second most popular wedding date was 11/11/2011 when the city recorded 3,125 marriages. More recently, 2/22/22 became the sixth most popular wedding date with 2,331 weddings. Clark County Clerk Lynn Marie Goya said her office has spent decades tracking trends and anticipating demand. “Thanks to that data, we know palindrome dates such as 5/25/25 are especially meaningful to couples,” she said.
