Couple gets married in famous church in Bulacan despite knee-deep water (6 photos + 1 video)

Typhoons are not uncommon in the Philippines, which means they are not a reason to change plans for anything. Just a nice story about how Filipinos do not want to give up even under the threat of a natural disaster.





The Filipinos themselves call it a "wet wedding". A church in Malolos was flooded by knee-deep water due to a typhoon, but weddings were already scheduled. Surprisingly, not all couples decided to postpone their wedding.

Flooded church was "just a test" for love that wasn't hard to overcome.





The wedding is definitely not one in a thousand thanks to the disaster

Typhoon Wifa this year intensified the already heavy seasonal monsoon rains in the Philippines, causing massive flooding. The bride did not even refuse to wear a white dress that she had bought in advance, and the groom entered the water in a traditional Barong Tagalog shirt, which is worn on special occasions. To the guests' credit, they did not refuse to "take a dip" either. Neither did the bridesmaids refuse to get wet, nor did the children, who carried flowers in waist-deep water.



Okay, now I envy such a fun wedding. Note that they could be a little plump

"If we bend under such circumstances, what will our marriage endure?" the newlyweds said. In fact, the monsoons and typhoons in the Philippines look terrible for the inhabitants of the plains, but the locals have been accustomed to them since childhood.



At any moment, a new fashion for wet weddings will be introduced

That's why it's sometimes surprising how the locals deliberately lead the most boring everyday life possible against the backdrop of the madness of the elements. Partly, they are so calm because many Filipinos still live in lightweight bamboo houses. Their destruction is not a big loss, you don't even need nails to knock down a house anywhere.



At least the water is warm, otherwise the poor girls would have gotten an inflammation

Hence the funny phenomenon in the Filipino culture - sudden houses. They can build on any land, not even knowing that it belongs to someone. Will they be kicked out? Well, you can build in another place in three days. This, of course, is not the entire population, many live in cities in apartments. But suburban residents do not perceive a week without electricity as a tragedy, they are not very accustomed to it at first.
