Massive Waves Crash Into Hawaii Wedding Reception

Category: Bizarre & Strange News

A monster wave crashed an outdoor wedding reception in Hawaii leaving the bride and groom and their guests dripping wet and running for cover.

Despite Mother Nature’s unexpected arrival, the Saturday wedding held at Hulihe’e Palace in Kailua-Kona carried on.

The bride, Riley Carson Murphy, took it all in stride, posting the memorable event on her Instagram. 

She also added that her wedding cake ‘luckily made it,’ despite earlier reports that it was destroyed, KHON2 News reported

The high surf ‘swept away half of our reception,’ she wrote. ‘My husband Dillon Murphy and I enjoyed a ‘memorable night’ surrounded by the people we love.’

‘Life isn’t always predictable and I can’t wait to ride every high and every low with my new husband,’ she said, in part.

Hurricane Darby, churning 870 miles south of the islands, brought high winds and high waves to the central Pacific island and was likely responsible for the wet wedding drama.

The video that was posted on social media and had more than 300k views as of Monday shows some partygoers scrambling for shelter with cocktail in tow.
