The magical 7/7/07 is nearly upon us. Brides from around the world will link arms and join forces in a battle against the evil forces of… wait, no. Why is this such a big deal? Oh, because of the sevens. And what’s better than three of them? Luck being what it is to marriage (or at least to weddings), venues have been booked several years in advance of the date, Eva Longoria and Tony Parker’s wedding being the most prominent of the bunch.

The couple will be married at Vaux-le-Vicomte, a 17th-century chateau outside of Paris. Supposedly all of Longoria’s “Desperate Housewives” costars will attend. God only knows what she had to do to get Terry Hatcher to show up. Probably suggest a double wedding so neither would get upstaged. Wait, that happened on the show. But it seems likely either way.

“Some reports say Longoria has chosen a classic gown by Los Angeles-based designer Monique Lhuillier, while others say she will wear a Vera Wang design.

Longoria will reportedly wear Chanel couture for the civil ceremony, which is rumored for Friday at Paris’ City Hall.”

Those designers are three good reasons to get married right there!

What we forget is that, according to Urban Dictionary, 7/7/07 is also the day Tupac will return.

7/7/07 is the date that Tupac Shakur will return to the world from his faked death. Tupac’s number is 7 and July 7th, 2007 will be the ultimate date for the greatest rapper of all time to make the greatest return of all time. This theory has been disputed much but the original credit belongs to Dr. Gurusamy.

So let’s not forget all the things to be thankful for this Saturday.
