China: Wedding Feast Carries On as Heavy Rain Floods Venue in Shaanxi

This unforgettable scene was captured in Weinan, Shaanxi Province, on May 18, 2026. It looks like a party on a river, but it’s actually an outdoor wedding feast. A sudden heavy downpour flooded the square with dozens of centimeters of water. Relatives and friends sit around dozens of round tables, watching the ceremony and waiting for the meal. Thankfully, the organizers set up cozy canopies and fences, keeping guests dry. Rain can’t stop love and blessings—everyone shows up in the storm to celebrate the newlyweds.
