Did thousands of Chinese-Americans line up for the 888 wedding date as many did for the 777 wedding date last year?

The 888 date is a wedding on August 8, 2008. The number 8 has always been an important and lucky number in Chinese culture. The Chinese for eight in Mandarin sounds similar to the word which means “prosper” or “wealth”. In Cantonese the words for “eight” and “fortune” are synonymous and homophonous.

With such an unforgettable wedding anniversary and date; husbands will have no excuses for forgetting their wedding anniversary.
