    "We've got two kids and have been married for 23 years," says Gayle Borawski. She and her husband, Suave, both from Chicago, came to Las Vegas to renew their vows at the drive-thru window of The Little White Wedding Chapel on 11/11/11. "I didn't want to wait until 12/12/12," Borawski says, adding, "That number is too cold."






    John Hamelin of Las Vegas waits behind the wheel of a 1965 Cadillac for his next pair of newlyweds at The Little White Wedding.




    "They're pretty excited. All things considered, they're pretty happy, which is good because you don't get to see too many happy people these days," says John Hamelin of the newlyweds he drives around in this 1965 Cadillac Convertible. "The way things are, what do you have to smile for?" Hamelin says, "You've got to worry about losing your job if you haven't lost it already. I've been out of work for about three-and-a-half years." Hamelin was a long-haul trucker before losing his job. He just picked up the occasional job for the Little White Wedding Chapel and hopes he can drive for them a few times per week.




    Newlywed Jessika Anderson of Tulsa, Okla., stands outside The Little White Wedding Chapel in downtown Las Vegas on Friday, 11/11/11, with her mom Jamie Rubeck, right, and her sister Jodi Rubeck, left. "My fiance calls or texts me every day at either 11:11 AM or 11:11 PM," Anderson says. "We tried to get married at 11:11, but they were too busy and we lost our slot."

    Eleven wedding couples leave the cathedral altar in Goteborg, Sweden at 11 am on Friday Nov. 11, 2011 after their vows. The eleven couples chose the date due to the symbolic 'value' of the date.

    Egypt's antiquities authority closed the largest of the Giza pyramids Friday following rumors that groups would try to hold spiritual ceremonies on the site at 11:11 A.M. on Nov. 11, 2011.

    The authority's head Mustafa Amin said in a statement Friday that the pyramid of Khufu, also known as Cheops, would be closed to visitors until Saturday morning for "necessary maintenance."

    The closure follows a string of unconfirmed reports in local media that unidentified groups would try to hold "Jewish" or "Masonic" rites on the site to take advantage of mysterious powers coming from the pyramid on the rare date

    Two demonstrators embrace at a street corner where a man was shot and killed after an altercation outside a make-shift camp site for Occupy Wall Street protesters at Frank Ogawa Plaza in Oakland, Calif., on Nov. 10.



    Police are investigating a fatal shooting just outside the Occupy Oakland encampment that is further straining relations between local officials and anti-Wall Street protesters.

    A preliminary investigation into the gunfire Thursday that left a man dead suggests it resulted from a fight between two groups of men at or near the camp on a plaza in front of Oakland's City Hall, police Chief Howard Jordan said.

    Investigators do not yet know if the men in the fight were associated with Occupy Oakland, but they are looking into reports that some protest participants tried to break up the altercation
