Be Lucky in Love on 8/8/08
It’s not very uncommon for couples to try and plan their wedding on a specific date because of something special that may have happened on that date. I’ve known couples who set their wedding dates based on the date of their engagement or first date but I’ve never heard of couples setting their wedding dates based on numerological significance until now.
With August 8th just around the corner, I’ve read about how popular it is to have an August 8, 2008 wedding. From what I’ve read, an 8 is a lucky number in Chinese culture so to be married on a day when the date is 8/8/08 is very fortunate. When an 8 is turned on its side, it also resembles the mathematical sign for infinity so this is another reason why this date is a popular one for weddings this year.
According to an article in the New York Times, The Knot says the number of weddings registered on its websites, www.theknot.com and www.weddingchannel.com are four times higher on August 8th than other Fridays in August. Resorts in the Caribbean, Hawaii and Las Vegas are even offering special wedding deals for this date too. Too bad some of us are already married. We’re missing out on the lucky date and the great deals!
