Excited
Today marks a special day to many Asians (and many non-Asians as well). Like last year’s 08-08-08, today’s convergence of three nines, is considered lucky to many Chinese, and a record number of Chinese couples have planned their wedding for today. The number nine represents long lasting (usually in reference to a long life) in Chinese culture, and the emperor of China used 9 dragons as part of the Imperial robes, and Forbidden Palace designs.

It's actually unlucky for Japanese folk, I think, because 9 = "ku" = means "suffering". Lol.

And this, my friends is why I'm such a nerd. :p
Yep, good day I supposed. My family has three different weddings to go to throughout the day. I'm pretty sure others are having similar events.
