The number of weddings and registration of marriages in a single day are expected to peak on 8th August 2008. Many couples would like to choose a special or auspicious date for their wedding date (and anniversary celebration in subsequent years). A special date like 080808 is definitely a not-to-be-missed date as it happens only once in a century. To illustrate this, even the opening ceremony of Beijing Olympics is set on 080808.

080808.com.my launches an online wedding photo mosaic; the mosaic is an effort to invite & unite couples from around the world registering their marriage/holding their wedding customs on 8th August 2008 in forming a single beautiful & memorable wedding mosaic photo.  This initiative aims to become the first in the world ‘080808 wedding mosaic’ and provides 100 lucky couples to showcase their memorable wedding photos on the main wedding mosaic; remaining entries from other couples will be listed in the 080808 weddings listing. (There are no limits to the number of entries 080808.com.my will be receiving. We welcome all entries and endeavour to publish all entries received)

Site visitors will be able to view 080808 weddings in a single page. By clicking each individual photo on the mosaic, a larger version of the wedding photo will be displayed while enabling site visitors to view the details of the wedding as submitted by the couple.

This initiative by 080808.com.my is truly in line with its theme to ‘make a mark’ by enabling 080808 wedding couples to make a special mark for themselves online.

Other ongoing initiatives by 080808.com.my to ‘make a mark’ include an environmental pledge campaign.

Climate change is not about our day being sunny or not. Climate change is a long term effect on Earth, changing the weather we usually experience and affecting Earth’s population. Climate change has long been identified. However, it is until recent years that climate change is known to be the result of human activities rather than due to natural changes in the atmosphere.

The main contributor to climate change is greenhouse gases. This primary cause of climate change has a delayed effect, likened as a disease with a long incubation period. There could have already been damages done which is not reversible by now, but if we do not take action now and stop releasing more CO2 (the main ‘greenhouse gas’), the effect could be more devastating.

While the list of issues resulted by climate change can be endless, there are also many ways where humans can help adapt to climate change and slow it down. We can take various initiatives at home, from reducing waste to changing the way we transport to work or even joining an environmental organization.

080808.com.my has created a Pledge Room for everyone to know that even small actions can contribute in helping planet Earth. The environmental campaign aims to spread awareness of climate change affecting the world and how we can each play our part in preserving the environment. Since its launch recently, it has successfully attracted hundreds of visitors from around the world to its site and to participate in its Pledge Room.

To encourage further participation in this environmental campaign, 080808.com.my is giving out ecobuttons as prizes for lucky winners who share the pledge campaign with their friends or blogs about climate change.

This initiative by 080808.com.my is truly in line with its theme to ‘make a mark’, enabling everyone who pledge to make their pledge counts towards a better future.
