How often have you dreamt of a wedding that was completely unique but would be memorable indeed?<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>January 26, 2017. While the whole country remained awestruck by the colourful displays during the Republic Day parade in New Delhi, two people and a team from Bond Safari, Thiruvananthapuram were busy preparing for a moment that would change their lives.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Meet Nikhil and Eunika, a couple who exemplifies the true meaning of the phrase \u201cout-of-the-box.\u201d Yes, their wedding, which had taken place on Thursday (January 26, 2017) was a sensation. Moreover, this was perhaps the first wedding where even sea-urchins were considered to be the most honoured guests! Confused?<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bondsafarikovalam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/wedding-couple.jpg\" alt=\"Nikhil and Eunika underwater\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t worry. This was a desire that the adventurous couple wanted to fulfill ever since they agreed to tie the knot. Nikhil Pawar, a native of Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra is a PADI (acronym for Professional Association of Diving Instructors) certified diver currently working at Bond Safari, a diving centre based out of Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala. It was approximately seven months ago, when Nikhil had first met his partner-for-life Eunika Pogran. Eunika, 23, hails from Slovakia and is a political science graduate from the University of Bratislava, Slovakia. They \u201cbumped heads\u201d in July 2016, when Eunika was taking a vacation in Thiruvananthapuram.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bondsafarikovalam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/wedding-caremony-under-water-kerala.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, the couple decided to gear up for the moment of a lifetime. Eunika, dressed in a white elegant gown and Nikhil, adorning a pair of western formals, entered into a wedlock the scuba diving way.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>As they wore their safety gear and signaled \u2018Okay,\u2019 the team of divers from Bond Safari escorted them into the ocean. A few minutes later, the story had a new dimension. Those on the shore remained curious, while the couple had a most quaint yet special moment together.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bondsafarikovalam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/under-water-wedding-team-kovalam.jpg\" alt=\"Nikhil and Eunika escorted into the ocean by the team of divers from Bond Safari, Thiruvananthapuram\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Nikhil and Eunika escorted into the ocean by the team of divers from Bond Safari, Thiruvananthapuram<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>From voices to placards; from vows to swimming along with the aquatic world, this wedding was definitely one of a kind!<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bondsafarikovalam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/you-can-now-kiss-the-bride.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bondsafarikovalam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/it-really-happening.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bondsafarikovalam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/couple-under-water-ready-wedding.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Nikhil and Eunika swam back to shore upon the completion of the ceremony.
