Bride walks down flooded aisle in Bulacan, just like in 'Crazy Rich Asians'

Remember the wedding scene from the film "Crazy Rich Asians," where the bride walks down the aisle flooded with water?

This is exactly what happened on a wedding at the Barasoain Church in Malolos, Bulacan amid the floods caused by Typhoon Egay.

As seen in Mav Gonzales's report on "24 Oras," Monday, the wedding ceremony between Mae and Paulo Padilla pushed through despite the calamity that hit their province.

"Nung nakita namin 'yung simbahan, parang nanaig na lang sa 'min na kahit ano mangyari itutuloy namin," Mae said.

"'Di bale na po kung wala po kaming maging bisitang makapunta gawa ng sitwasyon natin. Ang importante nandun kaming dalawa, 'yung pamilya namin, 'yung kagustuhan namin na ikasal," she added.

Paulo said even their homes and the roads heading to the church were already submerged in floods.

"'Yung tapat ng bahay namin almost hita na. Tapos mga dadaanan, bewang," he said. "Kahit lumulubog na 'yung sasakyan namin, go pa rin para makapunta dito."

The couple admitted that they had been worried several days before their wedding due to the heavy rains.

When their special day arrived, however, nothing could stop them from pledging themselves to each other.

"Ilang baha tinawid naming dalawa," Mae said. "Gaano kataas inilusong naming tubig makalabas lang sa mga bahay namin. Wala pong naging imposible. Lahat ng imposible ginawa ni Lord posible nung araw na 'yun."

Mae's wedding gown and Paulo's suit got wet, but what's more surprising was even their guests gamely waded through the flooded church to witness their union.

"'Yun po 'yung sobrang nakakatuwa. 'Yun po 'yung di namin in-expect kasi kumbaga tinanggap na namin sa sarili namin na baka 'di sila makapunta dahhil nga po baha na 'yung lahat," Mae said.

Congratulations, Mae and Paulo!
