As the number "2" (èr) is pronounced quite similarly to the word “爱” (love) (ài) in Chinese, "2" has been shaped into a solid symbol for romance these couple of years in China. When the new year of 2022 arrives, many assume 'February 22, 2022" (20220222) will be the most loving date for people to get wedded with their loved ones. In Foshan alone, the number of marriage registry has amounted to over a staggering one thousand on this date.

Though there are two major romantic festivals in this February (Valentine's Day and Lantern Festival, the Chinese Valentine's Day), people tying the knot on February 22, 2022 way outnumbered these two dates.

In the past, Chinese couples were fond of good signs on lunar calendar. When the Internet culture has started to take hold, viral dates like "520" and "Double Ten" also became more of their choices for the young to make this life-changing commitment.
