Bride And Groom Get Married Underwater In A Scuba Wedding Ceremony


A water-loving coulple have tied the knot 12 metres under water, scuba-diving down the aisle.

A beach side wedding just wasn't close enough to the ocean for one sea-loving couple. Instead they took things one step further and created their dream wedding - 12 metres underwater.

Chris and Janet Wright floated down the aisle happily drenched from head to toe as they exchanged their vows in a unique under-the-sea service in the Maldives.Chris and Janet Wright married 12 metres under (Caters)
 
The underwater aisle was decorated with fish statues, flowers drifting with the tide and a stage with the couples names written in a heart.
 
After 20-years together the couple, both keen scuba divers, got hitched surrounded by fellow holidaymakers and inquisitive fish.

The ceremony was witnessed by a group of submerged guests with Thomas Taylor as ring bearer, Carol Bielfeld as tutu clad bridesmaid and friend Lisa Taylor as photographer.

After the ceremony,  oxygen tanks were uncorked, sending clouds of bubbles to the ocean surface.

The 58-year-old bride said: "It was totally amazing, they'd created a whole stage area with a swinging seat, it was completely magical.

"My big day was incredibly special, I couldn't imagine a better setting for our wedding.

As the pair could not speak under the water, they held up signs asking if they would take each other in holy matrimony.

Chris and Janet each held up cards reading: "I do" and then removed their regulators to kiss under the water.

The couple emerged into the tropical sunlight and toured the island on a catamaran with a "just married" sail before heading back to their room for champagne and cake.

Chris, a chartered accountant said: "We've been together for 20 years so we just thought it was time we should get married.

"We've been scuba diving for years and we thought, 'Why don't we get married out here? How nice it would be to have an underwater wedding ceremony'.

Janet and Chris were officially married at a ceremony with family and friends at the Registry Office near their home in Cottingham, East Yorks.

Snoop Lion Excommunicated From The Rastafari Community

Snoop Lion excommunicated from the Rastafari Community, according to Bunny Wailer! Bunny has always had his doubts about  Snoop Lion ‘s intent and now his skepticism has taken an even stronger stance, that of excommunication. The news was broken via his  Facebook  profile and via  press release . Recently Snoop Lion has struggled to convince the Rastafari and Reggae community that he is sincere about his profession of, and transition to the faith, principles and beliefs of Rastafari. Most doubtful is Bunny Wailer the only living member of the original Wailer. ‘ Excommunication is a religious censure used to deprive, suspend, or limit membership in a religious community or to restrict certain rights within it. Some groups use the term disfellowship instead, ‘ stated Bunny’s official release. With that said, this would surely deprive Snoop Lion from direct contact to some elders within the Rastafarian community also, access to vital information and place of worship. Let us see
