A wedding is a special affair and people spend fortunes on the wedding decorations to make their D-day look picture perfect. After all, we all want our wedding photographs to be no less than dreamy.
Chino and Kat Vaflor had decided to tie the knot at Savanna Farm Tagaytay by Solange, a venue 10 miles away from the Taal volcano in Manila, reports NY Post.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology, however, warned residents around the volcanic eruption that was likely to take place in the afternoon of the couple’s D-day. The institute raised alerts and urged people to evacuate the Taal island and areas nearby predicting hazardous volcanic eruption.
But the couple decided to go ahead with their plan and tied the knot just as the volcano erupted in the background.
“We were actually nervous because while working we kept on checking social media for updates on the volcanic eruption. So we were actually aware of the warnings and escalating levels that were being announced real-time,” Evan told CNN.
“We also discussed discreetly among ourselves what we should do when worst comes to worst,” he added. But Evan said that everyone at their wedding venue maintained calm as the couple exchanged vows.
Wedding photographer Randolf Evan captured the iconic moment of the bride and groom exchanging vows in the altar with the volcano Taal spewing ashes in the clouds in the background.

Now that’s what we call an adventurous wedding. We wish the couple a happy married life!
