8-8-8

For all the reasons to get married, you can't argue with auspiciousness. Congratulations to Senate President Colleen Hanabusa who will marry John Souza on August 8, 2008. According to the Star-Bulletin, the two have been engaged since 2002, but decided to tie the knot on 8-8-8 because it's an auspicious date, especially in the Chinese culture. A lot of people are getting married on that date, and there's even a special postage stamp for the occasion.
