Their altar date was set last April 17, 2010 in Tagaytay. Wedding ceremony was slated at 1PM but during that time, vehicular traffic was on a standstill because of the Tour of Luzon bikeathon, and in the midst of the gridlock was this classic Mustang bridal car.<\/p>\n

The bride got a call from her wedding planner informing her that she would have to forgo her bridal march if she arrived 30 minutes after the scheduled ceremony. Left with no other choice, the bride scooped her skirt, train, and veil of her Veluz<\/a> wedding gown and started dashing towards the direction of the church. Following Darlene’s lead was her bridesmaid and her make-up artist, Eddie Bruan<\/a>. Upon seeing them on the street, the photo and video guys also got out of their vehicle.<\/p>\n

Oly Ruiz of Metro Photo captured in multiple shots as the bride emerged in the two-way gridlock.<\/p>\n

“After about 15 minutes of running, we came at the intersection where everything was clogged-up and asked — forced actually — a tricycle to take all of us (all seven of us) to the church which was another mile away,”<\/em> Oly narrated.<\/p>\n

As for the groom, he had tried to hitch a ride with passing motorists but no one stopped. Good thing the couple’s ninang<\/em> saw Gboy on her way to the church and gave him a ride.<\/p>\n

If those weren’t enough trouble for a day, the bride also shared that her wedding gown got burned due to a spotlight under their table at the reception. Darlene further added, “I thought there we were done with all the mishaps, but ‘lo and behold: our big day has almost turned into our last day!!! We almost fell off the cliff due to break dysfunction of our car!!! My goodness! What a day!!! At least we have an exciting story to tell our grandchildren.”<\/em><\/p>\n
