08/08/08 served as a good reason to tie the knot for 59 pairs from Chisinau who attended a joint wedding ceremony in the Chisinau's Ballet Theater's square, Info-Prim Neo reports. The newly weds said “yes” in front of relatives, friends and officials, as the ceremony observed the authentic traditions of a Moldovan wedding. Some of them told the Info-Prim Neo reporter the event was full of symbolism for them, not to be forgotten for a life time. After swearing fidelity to one another, the newly weds signed the wedding certificates and exchanged rings and kisses. Then they laid flowers to the monument to Stefan the Great, as Prime-Minister Zinaida Greceanai gave them gifts. The wedding fever has been occasioned by the date 08.08.08, considered as bringing good luck. The Moldovan civil state offices have got a record number of wedding applications -- 435 --, and 226 of them in Chisinau.
