As noted by a blogger on the website Fluentu.com, the date Jan. 4, 2013, when said aloud in Mandarin, sounds a lot like a declaration of adoration (roughly translated as "I will love you for all of my life").
Wanting to make the most of the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, thousands of couples reportedly flocked to registry offices across China to tie the knot.
According to Sky News, approximately 10,000 couples were married in Beijing on Friday. Additional government staff were reportedly called in to deal with the nuptials surge.
