DALLAS, May 7 (UPI) -- Since at least as far back as December 2006, potential husbands and wives have been snapping up spots to be married on a special day this July.

July 7, 2007 -- the triple seven date -- has been booked for months, The Dallas Morning News reported. Caterers, event planners and florists are still receiving requests from brides and grooms who want to be married on the novelty date, the newspaper said.

People magazine said "Desperate Housewives" star Eva Longoria and San Antonio Spurs star Tony Parker are getting married on that day in Paris.

Wal-Mart has even sponsored a contest in which seven couples will be able to get married at the store's garden area in any city on July 7. The winners will get free invitations, catering, rings and flowers for the ceremony, said spokeswoman Karen Burke.

"A lot of wedding and reception venues are booked so we are stepping in to provide a solution for seven lucky couples," said Burke.
