Taking the plunge, literally

Couples looking for alternative wedding venues can now book a scuba marriage ceremony.

Pro Dive International in Florida has announced that it is to offer underwater ocean wedding packages.

The idea came to company owner Doug Huberman and his wife when they decided to renew their vows in a scuba ceremony, according to the LA Times.

Packages will be offered starting at $1,500 (£907), although Mr Huberman still has to find clergy willing to take part.

Jannette Alix, of the National Association of Wedding Professionals, told the newspaper that wedding planning among younger people is coming up with some unconventional ideas.

"There's a new breed of people that want something unique," she said.

In one unusual wedding ceremony, Louise and Ed Nobles said their vows while kayaking down the Lumber River recently.

The couple decided they wanted a Native American wedding after they met at the Lumber River Campground nearly a year ago, reports WWayTV3.
