08/08/08... My date twins!
So when I was at work the other day, one of the pharmacists mentioned to me that she read about my wedding date being very lucky according to the Chinese culture, so I looked into it and found this... I just thought I'd share!
8-8-8 An Auspicious Date!
7-7-7 proved to be a popular and auspcious day for couples to be wed!
8-8-8 should prove to be just as popular if not more so! Triple 8's which, when pronounced in Cantonese is 'fa, fa, fa,' a homonym to the words 'luck, luck, luck'. In the Chinese language, the word 'eight' sounds a lot like 'prosperity.' The number 'three' sounds like the word for life. So joining three eights in a row? A guarantee of lifelong prosperity and wealth. August 8th, 2008 falls on a Friday when the moon is in the first quarter. This is an excellent time for new beginnings, attracting things to you and building your future. If you are thinking of getting married in 2008, this will be a most auspicious day!
