According to the South China Morning Post, this couple plans to hold a ceremony in their hometown in Guilin, the autonomous region of Guangxi Zhuang, southern China, on the morning of June 19. Then heavy rain occurred. As the bride and groom were on their way to the wedding venue, the area started flooding.

"This is the first time I have seen a bride go to her wedding on a ship," said an observer to the mainland news media Jingshizhibo. The unnamed bride said that the water level reached the chest of the residents. However, they still had to hold the wedding because everything had been planned."

In addition, the bride does not want to inconvenience the invited guests, who may have traveled far to attend their wedding. The bride has just gone to the nearby area to do her makeup, and at that time she was on her way home with a friend's car, which suddenly got stuck in a flood.

The groom then borrowed a makeshift boat from his friend and used it to transport his wife. His father-in-law helped him push the boat for two kilometers through a flooded road. The bride said it was an "unforgettable" experience.

"I am impressed by how strong their desire to get married is," wrote an online observer on Douyin. "The bridal vehicle looks much cooler than a luxury car," said another. "They really 'crossed the ocean with the same boat'," said the third, referring to a Chinese expression meaning "united during difficult times".
