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.

Yes a double memory maker.
excellent
Why does the title say bride, instead of bride and groom?
As if the groom didn’t do the same thing and doesn’t exist?
Maybe the groom was close to having cold feet. Lock him down now come hell or high water.
Brides do tend to dictate most aspects of weddings...
The dumbest thing I have seen recently.
What part of Texas is Balucan?
“It’s like rain, on your wedding day...”
“Sometimes the lemons are warnings”
Another old saying for this is “Any port in a storm.”

Y'all siddown and shaddap.
Wedding in a bombed out church, London, ca 1940.
Yeah, I know ... you're free to express your opinions.
And I'm free to express my opinion that your opinions are garbage
A church is a building. In this case a flooded building. A smarter approach would be to move the wedding outside the church or somewhere else.
Improvise, adapt, and overcome
