8 8 8 ∞ 8 8 8

bride from behind No, I’m not writing about the Olympics in Beijing and their opening ceremony which will start today at 8:08pm local time = 12:08 UTC1; I just wanted to mention that by chance there are exactly 8 marriages planned at Pfaffenhofen’s civil registry today.2

A wedding date that’s probably harder to forget than others… local couples probably won’t think much about the Asian superstition that the number 8 means luck and wealth. (Hopefully. :) )

Just a little pity for the couples that they have to take the ramp at the back of the town hall because the proper front entrance is still inaccessible due to the construction works – my photo from this Sunday shows the ground at the front.

    Sehr schöne Idee, die Zahlen noch durch die Unendlich zu verbinden :mrgreen:

    Die armen Hochzeitspaare werden also ihren Enkeln nicht nur vom tollen Datum berichten können, sondern auch vom beschwerlichen Weg… Wusstest du, dass statistisch die Ehen, die an solchen “besonderen” Dati geschlossen werden, lange nicht lange halten?

    Meine ich mal irgendwo gehört zu haben, ja. Wohl nach dem Motto: Jetzt oder nie, bei so ’nem Datum muss die Ehe ja halten…

    Wenns nur das Datum ist, was verbindet, dann reicht das meist nicht lange.

    @buchstaeblich: Nur wenn man die heimliche Geliebte des Bräutigams ist, die schon 8 Kinder hat.
