Couple walks down flooded aisle on their wedding day in Philippines

From ABC News.

Jade Rick Verdillo and Jamaica Aguilar were determined to walk down the aisle on their wedding day. Even if it meant walking down a flooded one.

On Tuesday, the Barasoain church in the Philippines flooded due to heavy rain as Typhoon Whipa intensified seasonal monsoon rains, bringing widespread flooding.

The couple said they had anticipated the risk of flooding, but instead of letting the weather dampen the mood, they decided to push through.

“We just mustered enough courage,” said Verdillo. “We decided today because it is a sacrifice in itself. But there will more sacrifices if we don’t push through today.”
