Many people will look for auspicious dates for the important days in their lifetime, such as the wedding day, moving to new house, commencing new business, joining new company, etc. I have even heard that some will choose to register their new car on the auspicious date too.
I chose the auspicious date for my wedding, and also for moving to my current house with the Tong Shu (通书、通胜), which is originated from the Yellow Calendar (黄历) founded by Huang Di (黄帝) of ancient China around 2697-2598 BC.
The Tong Shu is a thick Chinese almanac book, which is very popular among the Chinese families since the Qing dynasty, but not so well known to younger generations nowadays. Some of its content also appear in those "traditional" Chinese calendar, which you have to tear one piece per day to show the current date information.
Luckily, in today's information age, there are online facilities available for us to search in the Tong Shu just with a mouse click. I used the facility in the Y28 Predictions website (http://www.y28predictions.com/program/template/year/tonesing.php) for my searching. This is a Chinese website. To help those not well verse with Chinese, below are the auspicious dates for wedding and marriage which fall on Friday, Saturday or Sunday, for the next 6 months. Those dates are generally auspicious for everyone, except for people and any parents born in the year represented in the Exception column.
The 14 September is considered the most auspicious day (mid-autumn festival) among them. The moon is the biggest and brightest seen from earth by that day. To date, I have already received 5 wedding invitations fall on that day. In fact, my own wedding was also held during the mid-autumn festival several years ago. (However, this does not imply that the mid-autumn festival for every year will be an auspicious date for wedding. It need to be determined on a year-by-year basis.)
If you want me to help checking for any particular date, you can leave a comment and I'll try to search and translate for you in English.
Bear in mind that although the Tong Shu is a compilation of Chinese astrology and calendaring studies gathering wisdom of thousands of years, we should use it wisely and rationally, but not be too superstitious on it.
For the list of auspicious dates for moving to new house in 2nd half of year 2008, read my other post here.

Hi,
Please refer to this article:
Auspicious dates for moving to new house/office in 2009
Hi,
We are planning of getting married on either 18 July 2009 or 01 September 2009 and our Chinese Horoscopes are Monkey. Could you please advise which date is better? May I check with you something on the date of 18 July 2009, some of the website from Taiwan and China mentioned that this date is not suitable of getting married (忌嫁娶) but how come on your website is a auspicious date for married??
Hope to receive your reply asap.
Thanks.
Hi shopfortrendy,
My source is from Hong Kong.
I noticed there is one source from China with the information as you mentioned, and many websites in China are copying from that source, because they look exactly the same.
I think there is some mistake with that source for the date of 18 July 2009 (and some other dates as well). If you have noticed, that source provides detail of auspicious time for the day as well, and marriage (嫁娶) appears in many auspicious times for 18 July 2009 in that calendar, which at the same time saying that the day is not auspicious for marriage.
This contradiction is very obvious, which we can conclude that it is erroneous. All websites which simply copy over from that source, are also copying the error together.
Thanks for your reply and clearing my doubts on this. I am worrying since I saw those information regarding on the date of 18 July 2009 on the website. Keep wondering how come it is different from what I saw from my lunar calendar at home. By the way, can I double check with, what is the exception Chinese Horoscopes for the date of 18 July 2009? This is because some of the websites are shown as Monkey and both of us are Monkey.
Really appreciate your help.
Hi shopfortrendy,
That day is inauspicious for horse.
This is one of the website I am referring to since I started to prepare my wedding; I almost gave up the date of 18 July 2009 because it mentioned it is not suspicious for marriage. By the way, all the information on the website is so confusing, really don’t know which one is accurate.

Really thanks for your help.
Hi shopfortrendy,
Here is a more comprehensive source which provide more information:

Could you please give me an auspicious date?
also the time if you will. I can choose to take the test in the morning at 9:00 or afternoon at 1:00
Hi menoninblack,
The Tong Shu specified a total of 65 items and worked out their auspicious and inauspicious timings.
Unfortunately, taking exam is not one of the 65 items and is undefined in the Tong Shu.
As such, exam is much depends on preparation and everyday should be an auspicious day for those who are well prepared.
