08/08/08 a popular wedding date

Congratulations if you’re getting married today or you know someone who is. Today is 08/08/08, a popular wedding date, just as 07/07/07 was.
In Asian cultures, the number eight is considered a lucky number for building wealth and influence; hence, the Summer Olympics in Beijing, China, open 08/08/08 at 8:08:08 p.m., according to the New York Daily News horoscope.
“On a numerological level, the number eight represents the evolution of life,” the horoscope site says. “The two perfect circles together are a symbol of learning the lessons of Earth before transcending to a higher spiritual dimension.”
When the number “8” is turned on its side, it becomes the symbol for infinity, “a fitting motif to represent the beginning of a marriage,” reads a wedding planner’s blog on the Internet. “If you aren’t getting married this year, don’t worry, there is always 09/09/09, 10/10/10, 11/11/11 and 12/12/12,” the blog states.
