Heavy downpour in Guangdong has made daily lives of local residents inconvenient1. However that did not deter2 a couple from Jiangmen city from tying the knot on Thursday.

 

The bride and groom3 braved the rain for their 30-table wedding reception, hosting family and friends who needed to stand on ceremony--atop chairs to avoid the rising waters. The rain flooded the restaurant to knee level by the time all dishes were served, with the water literally4 putting a dampener on the wedding as many guests--decided to leave early.
