Would YOU get married underwater? Couples can now take the plunge in a SHARK TANK
COUPLES ready to tie the knot can literally take the plunge after a venue has started to hold "underwater weddings."
Couples can now get married underwater at Sea Life Centre in Blackpool
The Sea Life Centre in Blackpool, Lancashire, has became the first venue tourist attraction will be able to marry couples either in the aquarium or in the shark tank.
And staff have already received enquiries for the venue, better known for sharks and stingrays than brides and grooms.
Couples can choose to either don an alternative underwater look, complete with wetsuit and flippers, or stick to traditional wedding attire.

We can promise couples a truly memorable and unusual wedding day
They will be lowered into the main display tank alongside sharks, stingrays and other marine creatures.
The happy couple then exchange their vows in the water, with their heads just above the waves so the registrar can hear them clearly to comply with the law.
They can also choose to be married in other, drier parts of the aquarium, if they wish, such as in the shark tunnel or in front of the giant ocean window, with colourful sea creatures making a spectacular backdrop.
The centre will offer weddings in the aquarium or in the shark tank
The attraction can also provide champagne and canapes for guests on arrival, as well as a full wedding breakfast to follow the ceremony.
Sea Life general manager Matthew Titherington said: "We've taken a number of enquiries already from couples, especially diving enthusiasts, who want to get married amongst the underwater creatures.
"The registrar will stand in front of the display to conduct proceedings rather than actually climbing into the tank.
"Blackpool Register Office were pleasantly surprised by our request and think it makes an exciting venue.
"We can promise couples a truly memorable and unusual wedding day. It'll be a fantastic experience with all the beautiful fish and sea creatures swimming nearby in one of the UK's most unusual and memorable wedding venues."
