88 Brides

It’s no news that 8/8/08 is a popular lucky wedding day in China and throughout Asia (especially with the Olympics), but 88 couples in a mass wedding is still a bit of surprise!

Eight more and the Johor Baru Tiong Hua Association will have the planned 88 couples to tie the knot in a special mass wedding ceremony on the auspicious date 8-8-08, or Aug 8.

Association manager Eric Ku said some 80 couples have registered for the mass wedding since registration began on July 1. He expects to see 88 couples registered by the July 25 dateline.

“However, the couples must wait for their big day to see what we have planned. We want the ceremony to be more memorable than our annual mass weddings,” he said.

Ku added that 77 couples participated in the mass wedding ceremony the association held on July 7 last year, or 07-07-07.

Wonder what they’ll be doing for 9/9/09!
