Tuesdays aren't usually a big day for weddings - but this year, one Tuesday in November is gaining ground: 11/12/13.

According to the David's Bridal annual survey, more than 3,000 weddings will take place in the U.S. November 12, 2013, compared with 371 weddings on the same date last year.

Brian Beitler, chief marketing officer for David's Bridal, said the company's November 16 to November 27 online survey of 500 engaged or married women found that there is a rising trend of couples seeking such 'iconic' wedding dates. 'Iconic dates have become a trend in the U.S., reaching new heights when over 65,000 couples tied the knot on 07/07/07,' Mr Beitler said.

'11/12/13 is a sequential pattern, and we have learned that couples love dates that have patterns.

'The last consecutive series of the century will occur next year, 12/13/14. It falls on a Saturday, so we predict this date could reach record breaking numbers.'
