Bridal Bravado Amid the Monsoon: A Wedding That Outlasted the Flood
When Weather Goes Rogue
It was a rain‑kick‑back kind of day in Manila – torrential showers, a raging flood over a church aisle, and the monsoon that made everyone feel like they were living in a season‑to‑season soap‑opera. Yet, amid the watery chaos, a 24‑year‑old bride named Jobel Delos Angeles strutted down the soaked aisle, white dress swishing with every step.
The Big Event
- Jobel ties the knot with the man of her life in a ceremony held the old‑school way, in a church surrounded by water in Hagonoy.
- A five‑month‑old daughter got baptized right there, making this a double celebration.
- To add to the drama, no car could shuttle the couple to the church – it was a boat ride that made the whole affair feel like a scene straight out of a movie.
When asked why she didn’t postpone, Jobel laughed and said, “I’m marrying the man I love. One wedding, one lifetime – and we’re not letting a little rain stop us.” She pretended her wet gown was a high‑fashion rave, saying it was like walking on a red carpet.
Guests and Good Vibes
- By the time the couple reached the altar, the guest list had already snatched up the wedding cards. They were routed around barefoot, kids sliding slightly, but the atmosphere was electric.
- Even the entourage showed up and joined the fun, causing the online buzz to hit high.
Comments from the Crowd
The bride’s aunt, Teresa Bautista, posted the video and fans wrote back: “This is the wedding of the year!” She admitted feeling bad for the bride, but also felt elated that the unforgettable day had been conquered.
Takeaway: A Lesson in Resilience
Jobel declares that this wedding was truly memorable, and she has zero regrets. This day taught us the power of ‘no what‑ifs’ – when life throws down a flood, you either cross it or drown in doubt. Thankfully, she chose to dance through the water.
