Chinese Wedding Customs & Traditions

To us Chinese, it is definitely impt to choose a good date for the customary wedding and so we engaged Mr David Tong (Feng Shu and Geomacy Master) of Chinese Metaphysics Global Consulting to do it for us. His charges if u r interested is 100 bucks (for rom, AD dates, An Chuang, Guo da li dates). We use our Bazhi (including our parents' chinese zodiac signs) to calculate our ROM as well as the Actual Day of the Wedding since the Tong Shu is still not out yet. And so our dates are:


ROM: 11th Jul 2010 (Sun)
AD: 25th Jun 2011 (Sat)
