Tomorrow’s THE date. It’s gonna be 08-08-08! Just within our online community alone, there are 34 W@Wie brides<\/a> set to wed tomorrow! That’s almost quadruple the number of W@Wies married on 07.07.07<\/a> despite the triple 7 date falling on a Saturday last year.<\/p>\n

We doubt if 09.09.09 (Wednesday) would even be a bit as popular. But 10.10.10 (Sunday) is showing a lot of promise as the next wedding date of choice, at least for Filipino soon-to-weds, since it sounds like ‘ten-ten-te-ten’<\/em> — a local kiddie chant\/phrase that practically represents a happy wedding. This early, we already have members who are set to marry on that date.<\/p>\n

But nothing beats August 8, 2008. It’s the very first time that over 30 W@Wie brides are marrying on the same date in W@W’s nine-year history. Add to that the other Pinoy couples outside W@W who also chose that date and you’ll see how busy tomorrow is gonna be for a lot of wedding suppliers. And the date’s popularity is not just here in Manila or the rest of the Philippines.<\/p>\n

In the U.S., thousands are set for an 8.8.8 date referring to it as “the date of a lifetime<\/a>.” There’s also the “Olympic Wedding” surge in China<\/a> where thousands of Chinese couples are expected to tie the knot as Beijing formally opens the games tomorrow. There are even officially-issued, Olympic-themed wedding rings<\/a> available these couples. See the designs of the his & hers platinum Olympic rings here<\/a> and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Our best wishes to all 08.08.08 couples!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
