What an auspicious day! I received a msg from my cousin, Iris telling me that my neighbour's daughter who was my senior (in high school) was getting marry. She and her hubby have registered on this unique day. So surprise. There's no 'sign' of her getting marry. Anyway, I'm not at my hometown now. So...it's not strange that I don't realise about it. Haha... She (23 years old) and her hubby had been together for 9 years since high school. She uploaded some of her pictures at the registeration hall in facebook. Then, to my 'bigger' surprise, I found out that my another ex-schoolmate has registered with her hubby on the same day too! :0 They were also been together for a very long time already. Wow, so many people chose to register on that day. The whole registration hall was full of happy, anxious and excited faces.
In chinese tradition, 09.09.09 means everlasting. Couples believe that if they chose this day to marry, their marriage would last forever. It is also a blessing. That's why so many people have chosen this day to tied the knot. ^^ So happy for them yet envy at the same time. Hehe... I wonder when is my turn.....
