Wedding Date Selection Trivia

Two of my good friends are engaged to each other and have set their wedding date for 09/10/11.  I've been giving that date some thought: in this century there are only12 opportunities to utilize such a sequence of (date) numbers:
January 2, 2003 [01/02/03]

February 3, 2004 [02/03/04]

March 4, 2005 [03/04/05]

April 5, 2006 [04/05/06]

May 6, 2007 [05/06/07]

June 7, 2008 [06/07/08]

July 8, 2009 [07/08/09]

August 9, 2010 [08/09/10]

September 10, 2011 [09/10/11]

October 11, 2012 [10/11/12]

November 12, 2013 [11/12/13]

December 13, 2014 [12/13/14]

After December 13, 2014, one will have to wait another 89 years until the next batch of sequential dates comes around.  That would be January 2, 2103.  Of course, don't forget about the first day of the first month of the first year (01/01/01) up through the twelfth day of the twelfth month of the twelfth year (12/12/12).  Are there any other unique date combinations that I am forgetting?  Leave them in comments!

  2. Unless, of course, they get married in the UK...

    There's a few extra dates in there, but they do finish on 11/12/13, or 12/11/13 if you're from the US.

    There's an algorithm here somewhere... :)
