A wedding photo shoot in China’s Yunnan Province took an unexpected turn when a powerful sandstorm swept through, engulfing the bride and groom in dust and strong winds.

A video showing the couple in wedding attire as they shield their faces and struggle to stay upright against the strong winds went viral on social media on March 19, according to the SWNS.

They can be seen clinging to each other for support while a member of the photography crew holds up a reflector in an attempt to block the wind and dust.

The sandstorm passes as quickly as it arrives. The clip ends with the couple appearing relieved, brushing off their clothes after the sudden change in weather and scenery.
