SINGAPORE – For Ms Zhuang Yaqi and Mr Ryan Liu, getting married on Aug 8 had been in the works for over a year – 0808 is “auspicious” and it is the day before National Day.
“It just feels like it’s an extra festive period, and the date is also very easy to remember. We liked it from the start,” said Ms Zhuang, 30, an account manager.
The couple decided to go ahead with their wedding plans on Saturday (Aug 8) despite the restrictions brought on by the ongoing pandemic.
They were among 240 couples who tied the knot on the special date, up from the 44 couples who did so on Aug 8 a year ago, a Thursday.
Mr Liu, 26, a teacher, said: “When Covid-19 first broke in January, we considered postponing the wedding date, but as the months went on, and the pandemic looked like it would stay, we decided to stick to the original plan.
