The Olympics of 2008 are off to a great start with an amazing starting ceremony. Certainly you have heard of the importance of the number 8 in the Chinese culture and what better way to the start the Olympics then to have the opening on 8.8.08. Over 9,000 couples were set to get married on this special number day.
