Couple Continues With Wedding Reception During Flood & Donates Excess Food
A wedding is a significant milestone for every couple as it is a public declaration of their love and commitment to each other.
Thus, the special day needs to run smoothly, with everything going as planned.
Unfortunately, it turned out to be the exact opposite for this Malaysian couple, whose big day was sabotaged by a flood in Dec 2021.
However, instead of cancelling or postponing their wedding, they continued with the reception and even donated the surplus food to other flood victims.

Kudos to the couple for donating the excess wedding favours
