GAITHERSBURG, MD--(Marketwired - Jan 22, 2014) - We don't mean to forget the dates of anniversaries, birthdays and other special occasions, but numbers can be difficult to recall. Unless, of course, you are lucky enough to have your event fall on a memorable date like 12.13.14 -- the final sequential date of the century.
Gaithersburg Marriott Washingtonian Center wants to help people remember with the Gaithersburg Marriott 12.13.14 Sweepstakes that aims to gather and share the best tips for remembering special occasions and brief stories about things that made special occasions memorable. On the 13th of each month through 12.13.14, the hotel will award a one (1) night weekend getaway for two that can be used to celebrate anything the winner chooses.
"Unique dates such as 12.13.14 are easier to remember, and people assume they are lucky," says Sara Moore, general manager of the Gaithersburg Marriott hotel in Montgomery County, MD. "We want to encourage people to share stories and tips that can help others remember an occasion, no matter when it is."
Unusual dates generally cause a spike in weddings. Las Vegas posted a 28 percent increase in the number of marriage licenses requested in the days leading up to 11.12.13, the last sequential date, a noteworthy statistic considering it was a Tuesday. Dec. 13, 2014, falls on Saturday, by far the most popular day for weddings. That may help the nearly one in 10 men and 3 percent of women who say they've forgotten an anniversary, according to a 2011 study based in the United Kingdom.
