China’s first submarine wedding

Hundreds attended a submarine wedding held in Qingdao Underwater World on October 10.

Actors performed Mermaid and Price on the theater stage at 9 pm. The “mermaid” bride and the “prince” groom walked onto the stage hand-in-hand.

The shell in front of them opened and released the wedding ring during the vows, delivering the wishes of the ocean. The new couple exchanged wedding rings in front of their audience of visitors and sea creatures.

The “bridal chamber” is a cylinder glass room at the end of the underwater channel. With several dozens of starfish, sharks, ray fish and turtles swimming against the deep blue background outside the glass chamber, the new couple entered the room.
