CCTV9英语新闻：广东50cm洪水淹婚宴 众亲友被迫站凳子观礼（在线收听）

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

The bride and groom 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 literally putting a dampener on the wedding as many guests--decided to leave early.
