How far would you go for love? Turkey, Bali or Thailand? One couple took things up a notch when they decided to tie the knot in an extraordinary underwater ceremony in the glistening waters of the Red Sea. They literally took a dip together and shared underwater vows, and more friends attended! This unique event not only celebrated their love but also aimed to highlight the rich marine life in Saudi Arabia.
While stories of destination weddings abound, this one is certainly unheard of. The Red Sea, known for its coral reefs and diverse marine ecosystems, served as the setting for this innovative wedding of Hassan Abu Al-Ola and Yasmine Daftardar, both passionate about diving. The couple decided to exchange vows off the coast of Jeddah in the middle of crystal clear waters full of colorful fish and impressive coral formations to raise awareness about the importance of preserving these fragile ecosystems. The event was organized by local diving group, Saudi Divers, led by Captain Faisal Flemban, according to Gulf News, and also had a small group of fellow divers in attendance at the ceremony.
“It was really a surprise,” Hassan Abu Ola said in an interview according to Gulf News. “After getting ready, Captain Faisal and the team told us that they had planned to have our wedding right there, under the sea. It was a beautiful and unforgettable experience.” The duo, both experienced divers, managed to complete the ceremony with ease. “Alhamdulillah, there were no challenges,” Abu Ola noted. “The celebration went off without a hitch and everyone was amazed by how unconventional and spectacular it was.”
By sharing her story and stunning photographs, she aimed to inspire others to visit Saudi Arabia to explore the nation’s vibrant marine life. “This is just one way we can contribute to realizing the vision of Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the Prince of Youth and the visionary leader of our great country,” Abu Ola said in the interview.
