Amid tremors, a couple from Batangas pushed through their wedding last Saturday, April 8, 2017.
Mark Coliyat and Jen Peradilla tied the knot at the grotto of Our Lady of Mercy Parish in Taysan, Batangas on Saturday afternoon when a strong earthquake hit.
The tremor even caused the ceremony to stop temporarily.
Jonathan Vital of Vital Image Photo narrated in an interview with ABS-CBN News what happened during the wedding.
“I was near the back of the church and the ground started shaking, I saw the whole church shake and a pretty large amount of dust from the front altar started to fall, all of us we’re in shock and started to run out the church, it was a pretty good 15 seconds of earthquake,” he wrote in an email.
According to him, the wedding guests then rush outside the church for the fear that the building would collapse.
But the couple insisted on continuing the wedding despite the earthquake. The ceremony was transferred at the grotto which is located outside the church.
Vital noted that while the organizers are preparing a makeshift garden setup, another land movement occurred and after preparing the venue, the nuptials resumed.
“It was a really memorable day for the couple and all the guests. After all the events, we still managed to go to the reception and take beautiful portraits of the couple,” he quoted.
