Till depth do us part!
An extremely gutsy bride had a truly “wet wedding” — wading down the aisle of an utterly inundated church before tying the knot in the Philippines on Tuesday.
Newlyweds Gilbert Chico and Liean Liza Chico got hitched at St. John the Baptist in Hagonoy, Bulacan, despite heavy rainfall that completely saturated the province this week, causing waist-high water to swamp the sanctuary, according to Viral Press.
“We had been looking forward to this day for so long, and we did not want the rain and flooding to stop us from getting married,” said the lovebirds.
“It may not have been the wedding we imagined, but it is certainly a day we will never forget.”
The couple braved the soaked ceremony as family and friends gathered inside the flooded church.

Footage obtained by Viral Press captured by an attendant from the choir loft shows Liean wading through murky floodwater toward the altar where Gilbert was waiting.

Probably the grooms idea. He has the horneys
Yeahbut, couldn’t wait a week? I’m thinkin’ they’ll be transferring more than just bodily fluids.
They showed it on tv yesterday. Was really disgusting
Just plain stupid....Hope they don’t have chilren.
Indeed. Common sense. I wouldn’t have attended. Hip waders are for fishing not weddings.
Nice day for a wet wedding.
Hey little sister who's your only one?
It's a nice day for a wet wedding...
I’m still thinkin’ there should have been a discount somewhere. BOGO wedding/baptism. Something.
Bunch of curmudgeons.
I’d have been there cheering them on, maybe in a swimsuit.
Wife would know for sure I’m nutso.
I saw NO ONE in the pews.
Best wishes to the couple.
who knows, maybe they had an expensive honeymoon booked...I thought it was sad, but they sure were determined to get hitched.
Ok if it had to be done that day then relocate to a dry location. Improvise. Anyways this was just stupid. Memorable but mostly in a negative way.
“Just plain stupid...”
If God gives you lemons...

Sometimes the lemons are warnings
Much more memorable that all the boring wedding I have ever been to.
And besides. You know how much it is to reserve a church?
The church is so pretty; I hope they can clean it up without too much damage remaining.
Wow! I guess I’m a sucker. I’m rather moved.
