Do not pick the month of March, July & September because this three months are the month of ghost. No good thing, such as wedding, should happens in those months. And August is a good month for wedding, because the mid autumn festival is a very important event for chinese. It means the reunion of the happy family.

If you ask master to pick the good day for you, bride’s birthday should be considered first. Because, chinese belief wedding day is the most important time for women life time.

Never pick parents’ birthday as your wedding day. Because the couple should not take the good luck of their parents.

Although, chinese good day is a very old tradition in chinese culture, you should still consider the real life situation such as the work schedule of both family key members. So that all the family memeber would be able to attend the wedding ceremony. Family is the most important thing in Chinese culture, we should be give up the notion of family for any reason.

You might be think the groom would buy the ring for the bride. However, the situation is not that way. Lots of bride in US buy their own wedding ring.

A reseach shows, in ten thousand couple there is only 19% groom would buy bride the wedding ring for surprise. And over 30%, bride buy their own wedding ring. Because they think they know better of their taste and choice.

Plantinum wedding rings are bride’s favor while men love gold. That’s why most American bride buy their own wedding ring.

For traditional Chinese people, wedding ceremony would not be held during this month because of July (in Chinese calendar) is the ghost festival (month). However, it is a lot different in 2008. Lots of couple rush to have their wedding ceremony held on 8 August 2008. One of the reason is that the Olympic games are held in Beijing and the opening ceremony will be in 8 August 2008.

Another reason is that the word “EIGHT” reads like another word which means “rich and wealthy” in Chinese. The date 08-08-2008 means very rich and wealthy. It is a really lucky date! Therefore, lots of Chinese people will choose to have their wedding ceremony on 8 Aug 2008.

Interestingly, it seems that all couples have just forgot it is the ghost month!
