What is the wedding of your dreams made up of? A dreamy destination? Perhaps, a lot of flowers and detailed elements. A beautiful photo-shoot? A food menu that brings together all sorts of exquisite cuisine? Well, that does sound fantastic.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But, this couple from Kerala, decided to go slightly off-beat and took their love for water to a whole new level. Because they just got hitched under-water.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0 <\/p>\n

23-year-old Eunika, a Slovakian, and her fianc\u00e9 Nikhil Pawar, a Maharashtrian, dressed in the perfect wedding suits under a diving gear just got married under the waters of the Arabian sea.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Organised by the Bond Ocean Safari, this 90-minute ceremony was attended by the couple\u2019s close family and friends. This underwater wedding, which took place at the Grove beach in Kerala, is the first ever in India.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

They created a special stage in the deep blue sea made of coconut palms, wood and leaves.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The couple exchanged their rings and wore a garland made of sea shells as a part of the Christian ceremony.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The bride, dressed in a splendid white gown, held a fresh bouquet of red roses.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

All the verbal exchanges were performed using placards.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Just in case you were wondering how the couple held their breaths under water, they underwent a two-day long training in diving and breath-control prior to their big day.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For Nikhil, who is a diving instructor at Bond Ocean Safari in Kovalam, pulling this off wasn’t a difficult task at all.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To add to the Aww factor, after the ceremony was over, the couple shared a kiss underwater too.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nikhil Pawar told The News Minute,<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

WE HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO DO SOMETHING INTERESTING FOR OUR WEDDING AND EUNIKA READILY AGREED WHEN I PROPOSED THE IDEA OF AN UNDERWATER WEDDING. BEING A REGULAR TRAVELER AND A DIVING ENTHUSIAST, SHE QUICKLY LEARNT EVERYTHING AND FOUND NO ISSUES UNDERWATER. AFTER WE FIRST MET SEVEN MONTHS AGO IN KOVALAM, SHE WENT BACK TO HER HOMETOWN AND RETURNED A MONTH AGO. WEDDING WAS NOT IN THE PLAN THEN, BUT SINCE WE WERE CONFIDENT OF TAKING OUR RELATIONSHIP TO THE NEXT LEVEL, WE DECIDED TO TAKE THE PLUNGE.<\/p>\n

\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

The couple stated that they will have another formal ceremony in Slovakia.<\/p>\n
