An increasingly popular form of ceremony and reception lately has been underwater weddings - which require blessedly few accessories to go with the ceremony itself. Naturally there are going to be special needs that need to be met in order to allow for this kind of unique wedding. In addition to all the usual accessories, such as gowns and flowers (if you choose to bring them with you), you will need the kind of gear and equipment necessary to sustain yourself underwater. For example you are going to need scuba gear, the unique mask that allows you to communicate underwater so that you can repeat your vows, a boat to bring yourself to the destination, and the rings - with special care not to drop them. If this all seems too costly, don't worry, most of this is available for rent, which will eminently save financially.
Of course you're going to want to take the necessary safety and learning classes to teach you just how to scuba dive. Because you will have to contract with a company to marry you underwater, you will have to understand that this is a key part, usually for liability, in being allowed to carry out this underwater wedding. Once they are content with you and your party's ability to manage themselves in an aquatic environment, you are able to take the next step in planning the wedding. Many people like to decorate the boat that will ferry you out to your place of vow exchange, which can help add to the overall theme.
This will be a key point of the entire ceremony, as it will have speakers transmitting the audio of what is going on underneath the water, while cameras are around to record and broadcast back to the surface the events as they occur. If you do not necessarily want all your guests underwater, or they are squeamish about the notion of scuba diving, they can watch on the monitors from the boat. Many people also like having what's called a "unity candle" Waiting for you both to light once you get back to the surface.
You might also like thinking cheap, after the costs incurred in scuba training and gear rental, so a beach reception could easily be in the cards. Bringing with you a fresh change of dry clothes and a nice, reserved section of beach available, you can have a full scale, beach-themed reception.
Although themed weddings are really catching on in popularity, weddings that take place underwater are still unique and unconventional. With the increased popularity of these underwater themes, many places across the world are beginning to adapt. For example, some hotels are creating honeymoon suites that are built underwater to supplement that type of ceremony. If you are the type that likes to break convention, this is definitely the route for you.
