Groom Nguyen Viet Nam (37 years old) and bride Truong My Duyen (30 years old) are both from the same neighborhood, only about 1.5 km apart. Mr. Nam said: Up until yesterday afternoon, it seemed that the water had receded, so this afternoon they could pick up the bride in a wedding car, but in the end they still had to use a boat.
