Not even a volcanic eruption could stop a couple from tying the knot.
Chino and Kat Vaflor were getting married at the Savanna Farm in Tagaytay City when Taal Volcano erupted on Sunday.
“Tuloy ang kasal (The wedding goes on)” they wrote on their Facebook page.
Photographer Randolf Evan Castro said the crowd and the couple were “calm” throughout the ceremony.
“The overall atmosphere was pretty calm,” he told The Manila Times. “We were of course aware of what was going on as we were monitoring via social media news outlets. However, the good thing was the couple was relaxed and collected throughout the whole wedding and that really made the difference.”
The photographer said the eruption was “unexpected.”
“To be honest, we haven’t discussed contingency plans for supernatural events of this kind,” Castro explained. “It was definitely unexpected for everyone because first, there were no prior warnings issued and second, volcanic activity escalated in just a matter of hours.”
Castro said his team was glad that the couple still had their “dream wedding.”
“In the end, we’re still glad we pushed through with Chino and Kat’s dream wedding,” he said. “After all, it was eight years and two kids in the making, and it must be a special day for them no matter what, with or without Taal Volcano’s intervention.”
