Marriage
Choosing a wedding date is perhaps the best-known use of the Chinese art of date selection. Even today many couples in China do not set a wedding date without first finding an auspicious day. The marriage day is believed to lay the foundation for the whole of family life: harmony, fidelity, prosperity and the health of future children.

Tip. Always check a wedding date against the Bazi charts of both future spouses: the day should be favourable for each of them. If the registration and the celebration are on different days, the registration day matters more. Choose an auspicious hour for the ceremony itself.
