6 December 2009, my wedding date

Guest what? The famous “fortune teller” that my mom was telling me is the famous Chinese Master that I heard so much from the internet and friends, Loh Tat Pit.

Weeks after the basic information was given to Loh Tat Pit, my mom gave them a call to obtain a list of auspicious date for my wedding. The auspicious dates for my wedding that given by Loh Tat Pit are……

To choose a date from the list given is not easy as we need to take care of everyone’s opinions. For example, I like to hold my wedding on Saturday because my friends and relatives from outstation need not to take leave on Monday or need not to rush back to their hometown right after my wedding dinner. It’s tiring! I don’t want my wedding turned up to be a tiring day for my friends and relatives.

After a few rounds of discussion, finally the date is set. Phew! 06.12.2009 is the date. My mom called Loh Pat Tit again to inform them that we have chosen 06.12.2009 so that they can do the rest of the calculations. My mom also confirmed that we will be going over to listen to the briefing on our “si san bat zi” on….

When is or when is not auspicious for wedding

Wedding is a ceremony in which two people are united in marriage. Since wedding is to unite the two people and two is an even number, therefore even numbered months and date are preferred. Following months in the Lunar Calendar should be avoided for wedding:-

• First month - Chinese New Year month;
• Third month - All Soul's Day or Cheng Beng month;
• Forth month – “Sei” month (die month); and
• Seventh month – Hungry Ghost Festival month.

Loh Tat Pit @ Loh Tit Pat

Loh Tat Pit is one of the famous Chinese Sifu that helps in choosing the best date to get married.

On the first visit to Loh Tat Pit, you need to submit information needed in choosing the best date and to make an appointment for your second visit. However, after submission of the information needed you may give them a call in about a week time to obtain a list of suggested date and to confirm the appointment for your second visit. Before your second visit, you need to give them a call again to confirm the selected wedding date as they need the date to do other calculations such as when to go facial, when to cut your hair and etc.

Second visit is to meet up with Loh Tat Pit to listen his briefing on the “si san bat zi” of the new couple. If he’s free, he will tell you “What and when should be done?” and “What shouldn’t be done?”. He will also teach you how to use those items in the box they give such as ang paos, labels, etc. If he’s busy, his assistant will explain the same. Please be there sharp as they might not entertain you, if you are late.

Basic information needed in choosing an auspicious wedding day

As I mentioned earlier, my mom just asked for our (my bf and I) date and time of birth, thinking that is adequate. Ring! Ring! Ring! My phone rang. My mom called to ask for my bf’s parents’ chinese name and zodiac. “Emmm… I don’t know”, I told my mom. Don’t misunderstand, I don’t know their chinese name (because I can’t read Chinese character) and not that I don’t know their name. So my mom called my bf for his parents name and zodiac.
