10月10日,取“十全十美”好意头,我国今年有876对夫妇,将于今日对另一半说出“我愿意”,成为我国今年度最热门的结婚日。 婚姻注册局发言人对《海峡时报》指出,当局和穆斯林婚姻登记处已接获876对夫妻的结婚通知书,以便在明日举行这人生一大事。 去年,每周六平均有91场宣誓仪式,而相比之下,今年本周末成为夫妻的人数是之前的10倍。 宣誓官Joanna Portilla指出,10月10日通常是热门的结婚日,因为拥有十全十美的寓意在里头,而夫妻都希望有个完美的结合。“而若约会或这特别的日子落在周末,那么几乎所有的心愿都达成了。” 婚礼筹办人和宣誓官们都指出,今年的10月10日也是非常热门的日子,因为这个日子落在周末,且很容易记住。 许多夫妻都选择在周末进行宣誓和举办婚礼,因为更方便客户出席。 事实上,成千上万的夫妻婚礼计划都受到冠状病毒19疫情影响,今年1月至7月期间的注册人数达1万542对,和去年同期的1万3626对相比,少了23巴仙。 注册局发言人指出,人们都会希望在特别日子皆为夫妻,尤其当12月12日落在周末,更成为情侣的特别今年日。而截至10月6日,他指出今年已有331对夫妻递交了结婚申请书,以便在12月12日进行宣誓。
