The Chinese Authorities are gearing up for a wedding boom on the opening day of Olympics. The Games is scheduled to be inaguarated on 8th August 2008.
With all the numbers eight falling on this day, it is not only considered auspicious but also lucky. It is also believed to bring in fortune and happiness. With a view to cater to the historical number of weddings that are expected to take place, the Beijing registry authorities are offering to open a new line marriage booking service to benefit the couples.
According to civil officials, those who wish to register for their 8th August wedding can apply between 20th June and 5th August. They would get their marriage certificates on 8th August with booking form.
However, officials suggest these ‘would be couples’ to book personally at the Country or District Civil Affairs Bureaus with a view not to get caught up in a virutal traffic jam.
