| This number has come to be "our" number. When I was helping Amanda decide on the wedding date, this number came up for the first time. At first, it didn't stand out, but soon, the number had appeared so many times, it was impossible not to notice. Following are some of the many instances when the number reared its head. Remember that these examples were noticed after the fact. We did not plan any of these examples. |
| To figure the date of our marriage, I carried out the fibonacci series 15 places. Click here to learn about the fibonacci series. The marriage date turned out to end up on the 15th of August.

The number of letters in the names Jon, Amanda, and Hobson is 15. The number of letters in 'Mr. & Mrs. Hobson' (if you count the ampersand) is 15. The number of letters in Jon Wesley Hobson is 15. Set A=1, B=2,...Z=26. The numerical value of 'Jon Wesley Hobson' and 'Amanda Michelle Hobson' is 375. 3+7+5=15. There are 35 letters in our full names. 3*5=15. I was born May 1st.
