So today is the 9th September 2009, or 090909. I couldn’t resist getting this entry as well, though :P
Anyway, as with any other “special” day, a lot of couples choose to get married on this day. En masse. I just don’t get it.
First of all, the point of weddings is to celebrate your union with your significant other. Sure, weddings don’t necessarily mean that you have finally “gotten” your significant other in your grasp legally so now you don’t have to work for your relationship and continue appreciating them in every way possible. In fact, weddings and/or marriage is just another step- it’s a start. If at all, you need to work harder on your relationship now that you’re married, and not take your significant other for granted even more. So, anyway, weddings are supposed to be special, and personal, and intimate, between a couple… so why share it with [insert random number here] couples together at one go? D: It completely loses its uniqueness :| I’ll never understand mass weddings.
Second of all, call me superstitious, but this is the 7th lunar month, also known to the Chinese as the Hungry Ghost Month. By tradition, it’s not a favourable month to do anything auspicious, such as renovating your house, moving house, and especially not get married because of all the so-called “negative” energy emanating from the month. So why do the couples who, knowing this, still choose to get married on this day? D: Yes, I know, something like 090909 doesn’t come along everyday, but still. Just to “remember” your anniversary on a date that “special”? I’d like to know, is it worth taking this risk? :x I may not be the most superstitious person around, but I’d rather play safe than be sorry >_>

So err… yeah… otherwise, happy 090909 and stuff :P
In other news, I can’t wait for tomorrow ♥
Hmm… How bout this reason for a wedding at 090909?
“Mythically speaking, three is a very important number. Nine is significant because it is composed of three threes. Today has three nines. It’s portentous. Heavy with possibility. Magically charged. Anything can happen on a day like today. I’m getting married with [insert random name here] today. This event is heavy with significance. It is important. I want to get married.”
Well?
haha, dun think it is a good enough reason for steph to believe in that xD
I -personally- wouldn’t want to risk clashing with an “unauspicious” month, despite the numerological significance of 090909. Same went with 080808 too, to be exact D:
Aww.. Too bad then.
But I find 3, 7, 8, 9 equally mesmerizing. =)
Personally, I like those numbers myself. They ARE mesmerising, not to mention quite significant :)
Add 6 to the list for me, though XD
aren’t all numbers special? xD if they are not special i dont think people would come out with them at all.
True that too. But that sort of makes them un-special, in a way. Sounds like every thing else right?
