Most couples take dancing lessons before they get married.
V Chinnadurai and S Swetha from Coimbatore took scuba diving lessons.
The pair decided to forgo the traditional wedding in a building on dry land and get hitched 60 feet under the ocean.
As you do.
The underwater wedding, which took 45 minutes to conclude, happened off the coast of Neelankarai in Chennai, on February 1.
To really add to the spectacle, per WedMeGood, the ocean floor was set up with all the trimmings of a wedding, including decor.
There was an arch made of coconut leaves, decor with flowers and banana leaves, and instead of the usual scuba suits the groom wore a dhoti and the bride a saree.
Take it in:
Apart from having a great story to tell the kids one day, the couple also wanted to create awareness about waste accumulation in the sea.
As Chinnadurai told The Hindu:
“I have been scuba diving for 12 years now, thanks to Aravind anna, our instructor. It was his idea that we get married under sea. We spent 45 minutes under water. I proposed to her with a bouquet and then exchanged garlands and then tied the thali. Flowers were showered on us and then we took a few rounds under water. We are worried about finding masks under water. We wanted to create an awareness about this and so chose our wedding as an occasion,” he said.
And, yes, they did just put your wedding to shame.
