Couples flock to wed on auspicious day

Every year, there is Valentine's Day and May 20－"520", whose pronunciation in Chinese sounds similar to "I love you". However, Dong said, a date with so many "twos" is so rare and special that it cannot be missed.

They also considered Feb 23,2023 if they had failed to get a spot at the registration office on Tuesday. "We just want our wedding anniversary to be different from that of other people, but judging by the people waiting in line, it seems we have failed," Dong said.
