During the surge of typhoon Ondoy, Carol and Tyrone had alreadt checked in to their hotel where their wedding reception would be held. They were both tensed knowing that Pag-asa, Philippines’ weather forecaster had predicted a stormy day on the very same day of their wedding and it would be imposible to make a cancellation for the reception or the wedding itself.
Every place was in deep water and the guests would have problems reaching the church or the reception. Too sad, most of their sponsors had not made confirmations of their coming. Carol’s female cousin was the only one who was present and even the hairdresser and make-up artist couldn’t make it. Tyrone’s best man could not make it too. Tyrone’s parents had called that their house were flooded up to the roof and had to be evacuated while Carol’s parent stranded in an airport be cause all incoming domestic and international flights in the Philippines were cancelled. They were flying in from San Franncisco, California USA and were already stranded for two days. The couple wanted to called off the wedding but after some thoughts, agreed to push it through. They called on the church and told the officiating priest that the wedding is not cancelled.
Carol with the help of her cousin did her make-up and got ready early in the morning while Tyrone dressed up by himself. They agreed to share the bridal car just to reach the church on time but they were caught in a heavy traffic. The heavy rain pour made every road unpassable but this not stop them and decided to go through. It was a relief to see a firetruck on the way and they asked the firemen to give them a hitch . The delighted firemen agreed and under a heavy downpour, they managed to get to the church. The bride was soaking wet in her beautiful Terno wedding gown and her groom in his dripping black tuxedo but they were brimming with smile when they march down the aisle. Since they were no sponsors, two chucrh workers stood as one and the firemen’s chief as the groom’s best man. The ceremony lasted only for a few minutes and when the groom kissed the bride, rushing waters came in and the church floor was knee deep flooded.
The firetruck brought back the newly wed to their hotel and to their surprise, the Hotel’s management agreed to reset the reception and together with their small wedding entourage, the firemen and the church workers were treated with a free good lunch.
The couple decided to celebrate their first year wedding anniversary with a renewal of their wedding vows and of course with a grand reception. The couple said “after going through with their wedding ordeal, their love will surely endure every storm that would come their way!”
