In India’s 1st Underwater Wedding, A Slovakian Girl Married A Maharashtrian And It’s Dreamy!

While saying ‘I do’ underwater is a common practice in the west, here in India it’s quite unheard of. Much in love couple, Nikhil Pawar and Eunika Pogran, had India’s first ever underwater wedding of 90 minutes and it was dreamy.

23-year-old Eunika, who’s a Slovakian, married her Maharashtrian boyfriend of seven months Nikhil Pawar, under the Arabian Sea at Kerala’s Grove beach on Thursday.

 

The ceremony took place 4 meters under water. It was organised with the help of Bond Ocean Safari in Kovalam, where Nikhil is a diving instructor.

 

In front of a picturesque backdrop, Nikhil and Eunika said their vows by holding up placards. Their friend doubled up as a priest.

 

It was a Christian wedding and the lovebirds exchanged rings and sea-shell garlands. They took off their mouth-pieces and kissed when the priest held up the placard – ‘You may now kiss the bride’.

 

Nikhil had a real sweet way of popping the question. On Monday, the two went for a dive and he pulled out a placard with ‘Will you marry me?’ written on it. Eunika, who is a Political Science student and had met Nikhil at Kovalam a few months ago, instantly said yes.

 

Before getting hitched under the Arabian Sea, the couple had had a two-day training of scuba diving and underwater breath control.

 

The happy couple will also have a formal wedding in Slovakia, in a few weeks. Elated Nikhil told The News Minute how the wedding plan shaped up.

 

Now, that’s some serious wedding goals. Right?
