Accordiing to Beijing civil affairs office, about 8,000 couples will tie their knots when the Olympics open on August 8 in Beijing. It is a wedding rush-hour. A wedding Olympics! 8 is a lucky number in China. It is pronounced ‘ba’ , similar to the word for fortune and wealth. It is also said that “ Ghost month (the seventh month of a year based on Chinese Lunar Calendar) falls in August. The newly weds don’t fear ghosts?
