A proper wedding date is almost as important as the arrangement of the marriage itself. The couple tries to get everything in their favor. In Chinese culture, every day of the week has meaning and the couple wants a day for their Chinese wedding that is significant in some way.
Auspicious days are subject to interpretation by fortune tellers that perform the analysis based on one’s birth date (day and hour) after consultation with the Chinese almanac. Almanacs containing predictions for the entire year are sold at the beginning of the Lunar New Year by street vendors or book stores. In the Chinese community it is considered bad if an individual consults the almanac and performs a self analysis. That is why a fortune teller or an expert is consulted. When the moon and stars and other planets being aligned together, these are auspicious days as they symbolize a long and happy life.
