MONTH OF MARRIAGE

In 2009, the most popular month for marriages was October with 15,569 (13.0%) marriages, followed by November with 13,224 (11.0%) marriages. The month of July was the least popular month for marriages with only 5,246 (4.4%) marriages taking place in that month. The number of weekends in a month influences the number of weddings in that month.

In 2009, the number of marriages occurring in August decreased by 16.3% following the unusually large number of marriages performed on the 08/08/08, a date of special significance in the Chinese community.
