A couple tied the knot in the Philippines in an epic scene featuring a spewing volcano and ash billowing behind the altar.

Chino and Kat Vaflor wed at a venue Sunday about 10 miles from Taal Volcano, which was erupting as they said “I do” in astonishing images captured by photographer Randolf Evan, according to CNN.

Ahead of the nuptials, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology warned of a possible eruption at the volcano, which around 37 miles south of the country’s capital of Manila.

“We were actually nervous because while working we kept on checking social media for updates on the volcanic eruption,” Evan told CNN. “So we were actually aware of the warnings and escalating levels that was being announced real time.”

But Evans said that guests remained “calm” despite the ominous plume in the background of the wedding at Savanna Farm Tagaytay.

The venue later shared an image on Facebook of the nuptials, with clouds intensely spiraling in the background, and wrote, “The wedding continues!”

There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage from the eruption, but authorities evacuated 6,000 villagers in the Batangas province.

“We have asked people in high-risk areas, including the volcano island, to evacuate now ahead of a possible hazardous eruption,” said Renato Solidum, who heads the volcanology institute.
