Joey Nunez and Gina Canete got married in a church at San Isidro in Toboso, Negros Occidental last October 26. But rains the previous night led to floods affecting the area, including the road where the bridal car was supposed to pass.

Left with no choice unless they cancel the wedding, the couple decided to continue with their plans and get married on that day. They were unsure whether they would even have guests that day due to the floods, but the couple didn’t mind. The most important thing is that they will be tying the knot at the church.

Earlier that day, the couple crossed the flooded area wearing shorts. They wouldn’t risk having their wedding clothes wet and dirty as they go to church. They dressed up at the church before the wedding.

While white is the traditional color for bridal cars, a lot of modern brides have opted for other colors. Many even use non-traditional vehicles to go to their wedding – such as a carabao carriage!
