Happy Wedding Day, RongLing and Andy!

[AGBF]

I want to wish RongLing and Andy a very happy wedding day today. RongLing is originally from China and today, August 8, 2008 or 8/08/08, is considered a lucky day to be married in her culture. Please join me in wishing them a long, happy life together. They live near me in the Washington, DC metropolitan area.

I do not know how to add emoticons to my posting. Can anyone add a wedding bouquet and a cake to this thread for me?

Congratulations to Rongling and Andy!

Yes, 8 is a very auspicious number in the Chinese Culture. That's why the Beijing Olympics ceremony opens on 08-08-2008 at 8:08pm!

Thank you, simplysplendid; that piece of information passed me by and it is very interesting. I will try to remember it by storing it beside the First World War ending on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.

No worries Debbie...

I forgot to mention why 8 is auspicious.. it is because the number 8 sounds like the pronunciation of "prosperity" in chinese. "8" is pronounced as "ba" and "prosperity" is pronounced as "fa" (sounds like "far" when you say "far, far away" slowly).
