To get married underwater, you needn't be a professional swimmer like Michael Phelps. All you want is some basic Scuba training and you're good to go. Some places want you to be a PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) certified but then there are places which don't require any and are as shallow as 4-feet. With so many wedding planners, companies, and even hotels that take care of everything, it's not that tough to get married underwater.

Friends and family add color to weddings and underwater weddings are no different. Most underwater wedding couples prefer their guests to be dry and on the shore. But there's no harm in taking them with you. That is why Best man and Bridesmaid are there for. And for the dress, you can dive in with your Beautiful White Gown and Black Tuxedo but top them with your scuba masks and diving gears. Also, replace your shoes with fins and strike a friendship with the fishes.

Weddings are memories and to keep the memories intact, you need photos and videos. The best way is to hire professional photo and videographers. They are normally arranged by the wedding planners themselves but in case you arrange it yourself, look for photographers who have previously shot underwater scenes and weddings. You can also live stream your wedding underwater to your friends and family on the shore and keep them engaged with your lovely wedding or should I say Bubbly wedding underwater!

While you're ready in the strong currents, an Officiator will be there with you to officially proclaim you, Husband and Wife. For the vows, it's more written than said. Most couples write their vows on waterproof slates. This way you can never go wrong like Ross did in F.R.I.E.N.D.S. There are provisions for the usage of audio systems too, if you want your vows to be heard loud and clear. And when it's time to kiss the bride, keep it short and don't try French. You can kiss forever in your life, later. Just don't risk it underwater!

Underwater weddings might be a little expensive but they will help you save huge on the rather usual spending's that happen in a normal wedding. The huge money that you would have otherwise spent on the lavish decorations and booking the venue is a relief.

The idea of getting married underwater may sound tedious and different. But the experience you'll have while doing one is just breathtaking.

Nobody will ever forget your marriage and you'll in their hearts and minds forever.
