About China, the autumn wedding season
In mainland China the busiest months for weddings are autumn, especially around the National Day holiday of 1 October and in the weeks after, and the weeks before the Spring Festival. Couples choose lucky dates from the almanac, often those with repeated numbers such as 10/10 or 9/9, and book a banquet hall as much as a year ahead. In Taiwan and Hong Kong, double-digit dates are also popular, and the seventh lunar month before it is generally avoided as Ghost Month.
