China News Service, February 23. According to the US "World Journal" report, February 22, 2022, which is also the 22nd day of the first lunar month, coincides with Tuesday, and nine "2" numbers gather on the same day. Rare, the next time the same "2" appears again, you need to wait 200 years later.

Since the homonym of the number "2" is the same as "love", this day symbolizes "endless love", and the love is very strong. Many Chinese choose to express their love on this day.

In order to get married on February 22, the two made an appointment two months in advance to register their marriage at "1 Hour Marriage" in Alhambra.

　　Mr. Wang and Ms. Lu, who got married on the same day, chose this day to get married after careful consideration.

"February 22 is my birthday, and getting married is the best gift my wife gave me," said Mr. Wang. The two were scheduled to get married at "1 Hour Marriage" about a week ago.

Mr. Wang is a native of Los Angeles and is already working; Ms. Lu is currently attending the University of Southern California.

The two have known each other for four years, and plan to hold a grand wedding after the epidemic is over.

　　"1 Hour Marriage" in Alhambra attracted more than 80 couples to get married that day.

Linda Young, head of the registry and a marriage licensing agent for Los Angeles County, said more couples got married on that day than on February 14, when about 30 couples registered on Valentine's Day this year.

Since the number of people pre-registered to get married on February 22 is full, most people make an appointment three weeks in advance. "It is a day that has never been before, so everyone wants to get married on this day."

　　Linda's marriage registry remains open seven days a week during the pandemic.
