Many decades ago, on a cold day of August, I got married to the man who would be my husband until he died, on May 2000. I was just 18 years old and looking at the pictures, I did not look like a bride but more like the dresses that girls used then for their First Communion. I then thought that my husband was an older man, but the picture shows him equally young. On those days, it was a custom that the bride chose the date of marriage. In our wedding, my fiance´s soccer club decided for us. I wanted to get married on the August 15 holiday so that we´d always have our marriage date a holiday. But on that date, in my country, there is a big soccer game and my husband to be was part of one of the teams. So they said no, and I got married the next Saturday. I made the 17 my lucky number and even though it does not work in a casino, it worked during my marriage which is more thn many can say. Would you say your lucky number has anything to do with your marriage?

We got married on Easter Day. My oldest daughter said she would watch the three younger kids that week end. So we drove to Las Vegas to get married. We have been happy since and consider the whole month lucky for us.

I decided 17 was my lucky number. But, on other circumstances, it could be my unlucky number.
