For wetter or worse: Philippine bride defies storm

MANILA - A beaming bride who defiantly marched up a flooded church aisle in the Philippines has won hearts as the country suffers a fresh bout of monsoon rains.

Jobel Delos Angeles, 24, married the father of her two children on Saturday as Tropical Storm Yagi and the southwest monsoon brought heavy flooding to the capital Manila and nearby areas, including their home province of Bulacan.

In a Facebook video shared over a thousand times, Delos Angeles is all smiles as she walks through brown floodwaters in a white gown and veil before her suited groom, clad in flip-flops, takes her to the altar.
