Valleywag reports that Fortune's editor, Andrew Serwer, posted a blog entry October 19 about the wedding of Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) co-founder Larry Page to his girlfriend Lucy Southworth. (Fortune and BloggingStocks share the same corporate parent, Time Warner (NYSE: TWX)).

But when Valleywag wanted to write about the post, it had disappeared from Fortune's website. When Valleywag went to Google's cache, the reference to the Page/Southworth wedding was gone. Fortunately for those interested in the details of the post, Yahoo! (NASDAQ: YHOO) had a copy of the original.

By the way, the Serwer post said that Page and Southworth were getting married on December 7, and those attending the blessed event will need passports, which suggests it will be outside the U.S. Valleywag now suggests that the wedding could be held on Richard Branson's Necker Island. But one question remains unanswered: if you know why Fortune and Google removed this post from their sites, please comment below.

Peter Cohan is President of Peter S. Cohan & Associates. He also teaches management at Babson College and edits The Cohan Letter. He has no financial interest in the securities mentioned.

Sometimes, the numbers just wink at you. Ask any gambler. Or ask one of the many people scheduled to tie the knot this coming Saturday, July 7, 2007. They might tell you that there's a little extra magic to getting married on 7/7/7, a date that only comes around once a century. And heck, when it comes to marriage, half of which end in divorce these days, every little bit helps.

Seven seas, Seven Virtues, seven days of the week, all named for Roman Gods. Seven Dwarves. Lots of sevens in the Bible. Lots of good reasons folks think this date will be especially lucky.

The $80 billion American wedding industry doesn't ask why. It's simply gearing up for boffo boxoffice.

According to CNN, marriage planners nationwide are reporting huge demand to take the plunge on this auspicious date. Churches are booked, dress makers are working overtime, and just try getting a Limo that weekend.
