They are divers, they postponed their wedding due to the pandemic and finally accepted oxygen tubes underwater

¿Un restaurante a la luz de las velas ?, ¿un lugar emblemático para la pareja? … Nada de eso: the boda -ese momento único e important in la vida de muchos- puede ser también bajo el agua y delante de peces colours. Of course, of course, with oxygen tubes and a poster to communicate the most important statement of the ceremony: “Yes, I do.”

“We were going to get married in Cyprus but with the Covid we couldn’t travel and then with the guest restrictions it all really stopped. “. The one speaking is Lisa Huggins, a 38-year-old Briton who, along with her partner, Christopher Jackson, they decided to give a curious yes underwater.

The two thus became the first couple in Britain to marry underwater. “For us it was really a good way, we were able to reduce the number of guests and do something that we loveThe 38-year-old bride added. With her new husband, they were both permanently married in their place in the world: water.

Huggins and Jackson are professional divers and got married in the 864,000 liter tropical ocean at the Bear Grylls Adventure Center in Birmingham. The Derbyshire Jacksons have been dating for five years, they’ve had unusual wedding guests including blacktip sharks. They both married a wide variety of fish swimming alongside them.

“We train to be divers together, so it’s kind of a journey that we start at the same time. Getting married was just another part of this trip for us, our diving trip, ”said Jackson, 43. The boyfriend said “the couple had to be imaginative after the coronavirus pandemic disrupted their plans.”

Jackson said: “With Covid we couldn’t get married because we were locked up and so on. Then we contacted a group of people who helped us organize our underwater wedding. “

“After months of planning, the day has finally arrived, not only to marry the woman of my dreams, but to my best friend and only partner. And what a way to do it, ”Jackson said in a post on his Facebook account. “I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you, I love you so much,” he added. The moment of the cake was on the surface, outside the oceanarium.

Weddings have seen all kinds of quirks in recent years. Now it’s more and more about doing something showy, which will remain in the memory of the protagonists for the rest of their lives.

The case of these two Britons is similar to that of Adrián Vázquez, a Spaniard who, asking for the hand of his girlfriend, Tamara, did so underwater. Both of them, like Lisa Huggins and Christopher Jackson, are fans of diving and wanted water to be the protagonist of the moment they had always dreamed of. Both requested the help of their diving club, SAS Grupo Bazán de Ferrol, and carried out the same task.

Another couple in love who got married 17 meters under the sea in February 2017 in Havana. The curious ceremony took place on the seabed of Playa de 16 in Miramar, Havana. Underwater, the bride and groom decorated the space and the union took place according to all the rules of a traditional wedding. The bride, a popular YouTuber and Cuban dancer, even threw down the bouquet of flowers. This time the guests had to swim to reach it.
