Original source
FOX 26 Houston — “Couples tie the knot on Super Bowl Sunday”
Published January 30 & February 3, 2020
A date that reads the same both ways 02/02/2020 is a palindrome — it reads identically forward and backward. It also fell on a Sunday in 2020, and that Sunday happened to be Super Bowl Sunday. Houston couples noticed, and our calendar filled accordingly.
Two FOX 26 stories On January 30, 2020, FOX 26 Houston previewed the day in a story titled "Special date has lots of couples tying the knot on Super Bowl Sunday," reporting on couples preparing to marry at The Courthouse Wedding Chapel. On February 3, 2020, the station followed up with "Couples tie the knot on Super Bowl Sunday," reporting that nine couples married at the chapel in North Houston on February 2.
What the day actually looked like here Ceremonies ran on a tight schedule: arrival, license check, a short ceremony, signatures, photos, and out the door in time for kickoff. Several couples told us the date was easy to remember — and easy for a spouse to never forget.
Memorable dates keep coming 02/02/2020 was not a one-off. Two years later Houston did the same thing on 2/22/22, and we expect the same pattern on the next round-number Saturday dates. If you want one of those dates, book early and have your license ready.
