A couple tied the knot 60 feet underwater off the coast of Neelankarai in India on Monday. This is reportedly India’s first underwater traditional marriage.

“We dived in at an auspicious time and exchanged our garlands along with tying the mangal sutra,” said the couple.

The couple was wearing traditional dresses. The bride wore a sari while the groom wore a Veshti (dhoti). They performed the marriage rites underwater.
