Auspicious Chinese Wedding Dates for March 2008
Posted on September 24, 2007 in the Chinese Wedding Traditions category
Well Dave’s Dad Has had a look in the Tong Sing book for us and translated the good, bad and neutral dates for march 2008.
As you can see its all written in chinese, so you need someone who can read traditional chinese characters to translate the book.
So according to this 2008 Hong Kong edition of the Tong Sing these are the auspicious dates for march 2008:
Good Dates for Weddings
Saturday 1st
Tuesday 4th
Tuesday 11th
Wednesday 26th
Bad Dates for Weddings - Avoid!
Wednesday 12th
Monday 24th
Neutral - neither good nor bad
all other dates not listed above are neutral, which means they are not bad, but not brilliant either.
For his hard work we bought Dave’s dad a nice cold beer. He likes it when people buy him beer. From these selected auspicious dates we’re going to be either looking at getting married on March the 4th or 11th as those are the only 2 tuesdays available. Dave’s Dad will still have to finalise the date so Dave you better get on the case so we (when I say ‘we’ I actually mean I) can really start planning.

Hi,
I am also looking at getting married in 2008, but my parents has not been able to get a hold of the Chinese calendar yet. I tried looking on the website and came across your website. Would you be able to tell me what are the good dates to get married in June 2008?
Thank you so much,
Ami
hi sally. that is such a cute picture of dave’s dad. anyway, any chance that you’ll have the auspicious dates for the rest of the months in 2008 too? i’m particularly interested in october 2008
keep up the good work with your planning. i’m still light years behind

Hello,
I am also getting married in 2008 and my parents are chinese and very superstitious. Can you also tell us what other dates are good for the rest of 2008? I am looking to get married in September. Thank you so much!
try going to china town in los angeles california or you can always go to the chinese temple and ask ‘god’ if any day you pick is okay with ‘her’. you have to ask some one there to help you. they will toss golden clam shells to see if it is okay or not. they said if its okay then it is okay. cus god said so.
Even if it is on a “bad” day she will protect you. that is what i did. i got march 8/08 yeah. when we checked the book it said none till june!! too long of a wait. i already waited 5 and a half years!!!!!
hey sally..
i see you’ve almost got a date chosen ? heh.. dats gd.
btw, i m sorry i didnt reply after yr last reply… =/
my bf and I .. we’re not v. traditional and our families are not superstitious as well.. so they let us choose our own date. we picked 26 July 08. we wanted July.. coz some of our relatives are away and summer hols means they get to come home to singapore.. =)
and yes, we are lucky to have the bridal studios. its kinda like a one-stop thing.. but there are also many other aspects of the wedding to plan. and.. i still hv not managed to book a nice church yet! heh..
so, 5 more mths to go to yr big day! jiayou (means.. all e best) in yr planning! =)
*btw, i am also not sure if my date is a gd date in the almanac. haha… =)
Hi Stef, Congratulations on choosing a date your your big day. 26 july, is the day after my birthday. My parents and my fiancee’s parents are not that superstitious either but we thought we could do with some luck for the weather as we’re getting married in March and maybe it won’t rain on an auspicious date.
5 months, yes I better get a move on with the planning. my big sister got married this week, she only planned her wedding in 2 months but she had help from her parents in law as they sorted out the banquet for them.
all the best for your wedding too. have you choosen a color theme for your wedding? thats what I’ve been having problems with and it doesn’t help that my fiancee is on holiday for 2 weeks
Hi Sally!
How about the auspicious dates on August 2008?
Thanks
I am getting married next year of 2008. Can Dave’s dad please translate and let us know what the good dates are for May and June?
Any info would be helpful.
Thanks.

Hi Sally,
We are planing to get married on March as ur details as the above. I had found out but we need to know that whether our year any crash on the day we choose of March 11th ? my year is dog 1982 and my fiance year roaster 1981. Any idea on it??
Sally,
How do you manage to have a wedding on a Tuesday? My parents are super superstitious and my mom picked a total of 1 auspicious date starting from April to August, and that date lands on a Friday…so i’m just wondering how a weekday can actually work. We are catholic and the church say they can do the wedding ceremony at 5 or 6pm…and the reception to follow? Any advice? What time will you wedding ceremony be?
Thank you to you all for the comments. Me and my fiance will be posting up Auspicious dates for 2008 very soon.
Mary,
We can only have our wedding on a tuesday as thats the only day my family have off. We have never even thought about having it on a weekend even though we probably could. We are having our Ceremony at 11am then the banquet/reception at 2/3pm.
Good luck with your wedding plans
Sally,…
congrats on ur wedding!!!!!
Do u know if there is such things as auspicious birth dates… my baby is due next mth but doctors asked us to choose a date for it to be induced… , the doc suggested 28/2….. sound nice but, since we got a choice…. we might as well choose as perfect date…..
help me…. anyone..???
Thank you Mark. Congratulations to you too. I haven’t heard anything about ausipicious birth dates but it wouldn’t surprise me if people wanted to have their baby born on an exact date. Where are you from?? I don’t think people in UK would be that superstitious, then again I could be wrong. Personally Icould never do that to my baby as I think they should come out when they’re ready, whatever date that should be.
Congratulations to you and your wife.
anyone get the book of auspicious dates? Whar about April????? thanks???
All of Aprils auspicious dates are listed on the 2008 Auspicious Wedding dates page
