India’s First Underwater Wedding conducted by Bond Safari Kovalam

India’s First Underwater Wedding

India witnessed its first underwater wedding ceremony in the paradise of Kovalam which was organised by Bond Safari Kovalam. The unique and adventurous wedding ceremony took place off Grove Beach in Kovalam. The bride, Unika Pogran, a native of Slovenia, and the groom Nikhil Powar from Maharashtra exchanged their rings in a specially created setting undersea.

The couple descended into the sea carrying their scuba diving equipment along with their eight friends. They exchanged rings, adorned each other with shell garlands, kissed underwater and took their wedding vows with the help of placards, on the podium created by the Bond Safari team. In keeping with the all-natural theme, the setting was created with palm leaves, coconut shells, and flowers- all natural substances. Thus the wedding took place amidst the pearl and shell decked bottom while the lush marine life formed the backdrop.
