For wetter, for worse! Moment radiant bride wades through water to walk down the aisle after a devastating typhoon swept the Philippines

This is when a bride wades through the water to walk down the aisle in a flooded church that has been hit by typhoons in the Philippines.

Heartwarming footage shows bride Dianne Victoriano pushing through ankle-deep waters toward her groom Paulo Padilla on Sunday at Barasoain Church in Malolos, Bulacan province.

Despite the water soaking her shoes and wedding train, the now Mrs. Padilla can be seen holding a bouquet of white and pink roses. She then says her vows in front of guests.

The newlyweds said, “When we saw the church flooded, we decided to go through with the ceremony anyway.

“It didn’t matter if the guests refused to come because of the situation. What’s important is that we wanted to get married, that it was just the two of us and that our families were with us.’

After wading through the water, she stands with her groom Paulo Padilla at Barasoain Church in Malolos, Bulacan province, which has been hit by monsoons.

Mr Padilla said the roads leading to the church were also flooded, but that didn’t stop them from going ahead with the wedding.

He said, “Even though our car felt like it was going to sink, we kept going to make it to the church.”

The couple said they were also grateful that despite the severe flooding and bad weather, their guests still attended.

Dianne added: ‘We braved high floods to get out of our homes. Nothing was impossible. Of all impossible things, God made that day possible for us.”

The provincial government had put Bulacan, where Barasoain Church is located, in a state of disaster due to severe flooding caused by super typhoon Doksuri, which has also hit China in recent weeks.

The storm had left the Philippine monitoring zone on July 27, but the devastation it wreaked continued.

Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Khanun swept toward the country on July 29, bringing heavy rains and flooding, while intensifying into a full-fledged typhoon by Sunday.

Khanun is expected to attack the Philippines until August 1 before moving northwest.
