„Every year, most couples in the country get married on summer weekends, and the absolute leaders for couples choosing a date for their life celebration are August weekends. Of course, a significant number of newlyweds want to give even more meaning to this special date and coordinate the wedding date according to a certain memorable number combination. And June 2026 was especially favorable for numerology enthusiasts,“ says Janeita Muliuolė, Head of the Data Solutions Department at the Registry Center.
