Lucky date: Wedding frenzy on 08-08-08

by Christine on January 6th, 2008

Last year, thousands of couples married on 07-07-07 as this date will not come around till the next century, just ask Eva Longoria and Tony Parker and Jay and Eena to name a few!

In the Philippines, couples are scrambling to book the lucky date 08-08-08. Will you be one of the lucky ones?

You still got about 7 months to go so if you’re planning to marry this year, why not pick 08-08-08 as your special wedding date?

I don’t really believe in superstition but it will be quite neat to be able to write down 08-08-08 as your wedding date eh?

I am getting married that day also. We are giving everyone little notes about what the number eight means. In math the infinity sign is derived from 8 which is why we chose this date because our love is infinite

Some ideas for all 888 couples tying the knot

Seat 8 guests per table.

Serve 8 different hors d’oeuvres, 8 courses in the meal, and 8 sweet deserts.

Have eight adults in your wedding party

Have eight different flowers in your bouquet.

Have 8 items in your centerpieces

Instead of an 8-tier wedding cake you may have 8 single layer cakes placed either side by side or on various height pedestals on your cake table.

We have are date set for 08-08-08. I asked my woman to marry me on 7-7-07 at 7:07am. I told my sister about it and she said why don’t you guys get married on 8-8-08. My fiancee friend who is asian told her that 8s was lucky in asia like 7s are her in the US. So we are planning a small wedding hope all goes well. Congrats to all that will make it happen that day.
