Couples exchange vows under blue lagoon in bora bora

A couple from Madrid, Spain, tied the knot four
meters underwater in a stunning Bora-Bora
lagoon.
A couple took their love for each other to whole
new level when they decided to tie the knot four
meters under water in the stunning turquoise
waters of Bora Bora.
It was the first underwater wedding in this lagoon,
but it may not be the last.
The beautiful ceremony was organized by a dive
club, Top Dive, which has introduced a new
concept for wedding tourism in French Polynesia.
The lovebirds held hands as they stood in front of a
Polynesian priest who conduct the breathtaking
ceremony.
The priest stood at an altar made ​​of pearls to
welcome the couple - Nicolas and Alexandra -
from Madrid, Spain.
According to Paul Ramos, manager of thirteen Top
Dive diving clubs in Polynesia, he developed the
idea to give couples the experience of a lifetime for
just €2,700.
The newlyweds, Alexandra and Nicolas said that
they were excited about getting married in such a
unique way and wore white wedding diving outfits
for their special ceremony.
"I guess it's like walking for the first time on the
moon," said the groom, Nicolas.
Meanwhile, his bride's outfit was similar to an
astronaut's space suit.
And unlike most brides, she did not have to worry
about having the perfect bridal hairstyle because
she had a helmet on her head.
The helmets had air pumping through them from
the surface of the water, and just like any other
wedding on dry land, an underwater photographer
was on hand to capture every moment of the
couple's big day.
The priest conducted the ceremony through
headphones, which were also connected to the
bride and groom.
The underwater chapel was marked by a curtain of
bubbles around two armchairs Pomare - the
Polynesian royal seats. At the moment that they
had to say "I do" they did it by putting their
thumbs-up.
Altogether, the ceremony lasted just 20
minutes.The couple then went on a bridal canoe
and were serenaded by the priest who also knew
how to play a ukulele as he sang a romantic song
in Tahitian.
When the newlyweds reached dry land, they
sipped champagne flutes on a deserted beach,
facing the turquoise lagoon and Mount Otemanu,
the iconic peak of Bora Bora.
