Zurich - Several Swiss numerologists are planning to marry on the ninth day of the ninth month of 1999, convinced it is an auspicious date, a survey has revealed.

Many have decided to beat an expected marital rush on September 9th by organising their nuptials early, especially in German-speaking parts of the country, according to the survey by the ATS telephone company. Zurich town hall has already said it will limit the number of ceremonies to 64, each lasting seven minutes.
