08.08.08

8th August 2008 or in shorter form 08.08.08.

Not only is the date quite unforgettable, but the figure 8 also symbolizes prosperity in the Chinese culture, and will also be the date in which the summer Olympics are to begin in Beijing China, at 8:08:08pm tonight.

Many couples have chosen to tie the knot on this auspicious day although it's 8th day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar, a month that the Chinese tradition regarded as the Ghost Month.

All right if you are still single or even if you are attached and planning for a marriage, there's still 9th September 2009 (09.09.09), 10th October 2010 (10.10.10), 11th November 2011 (11.11.11) and lastly 12th December 2012 (12.12.12). The Chinese would prefer the 09.09.09 as it symbolise longevity forever ('cheong cheong kau kau').
