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.

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.
