Unless you have a scuba tank.
I was going to use this picture as the basis of a photo caption and make the lead joke about underwater weddings. . . .
Until I found out that’s exactly what’s going on here!
Well, almost.
It’s actually a pair of models doing advertising, but what they’re advertising is an underwater wedding service (that is, a service for performing underwater wedding services).
The service is available in Hong Kong, so it’d be a destination wedding in more than one sense if you went to one of these things (which you could do as long as the marriage would be presumptively valid–and as long as you have a scuba tank).
And no, the Church would not approve of this kind of thing. It’s turning what should be a solemn moment into a spectacle.
Now, having a wedding in a Catholic church located in an undersea city in the year 2079, that’d be an entirely different thing.
In the meantime,
As the 15 foot long great white shark swims by, the bride says, “Mama, sit down!”
Talk about “taking the plunge”!
Captions:
“It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity that’ll kill you.”
“Served at the reception: fresh sushi.”
“Although its been underwater since 2025, global warming won’t prevent stop this couple from getting married in Hawaii.”
“Is this groom getting cold feet?”
“No! It is I who will … !” Oh nevermind.
Wow, this would be a great liturgical setting. The fish is even a Christian symbol! I wonder if Richard Vosko has thought about this yet?
“No! It is I who take you to be my lawfully wedded…”
Under da Sea… Under da SEA. Darling it’s better, down where it’s wetter, take it from ME…
“Now, having a wedding in a Catholic church located in an undersea city in the year 2079, that’d be an entirely different thing.”
Sweet. What saint do you (Jimmy, and also everyone) think the parish would be named after?
The Fisherman St. Peter
“You may now ….. kiss the bride? How’s that gonna work?”
What saint do you (Jimmy, and also everyone) think the parish would be named after?
Maria Stella Maris!
Caption:
“Uncle Bill was quite embarrassed after he knocked the top of the wedding cake into the fish bowl.”
St. Thomas Aquinas?
Chris-2-4 Your kids must be the same ages as mine…
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!! That photo is so funny, my face is hurting! Great White Shark swims by. One day if the boss gets hungry, guess who’s gonna be on the plate.
What Saint would it be named after?
St. Sebestian (under the sea, under the sea…)
I was waiting for someone to mention the Little Mermaid character. 😀
Wait until the modernists get their way w/Vatican III. Underwater weddings will be nothin’.
I’m waiting to see what the dry cleaning people have to say about the request to remove salt water from the gown, what the tuxedo rental people will say, what grandma will say when they tell her they prefer the novelty of the underwater wedding to her presence…..
Don’t eat mexican the night before this wedding. You can’t blame it on somebody else.
“Wait until the modernists get their way w/Vatican III. Underwater weddings will be nothin’.”
Weddings in Zero Gravity. 😀
weddings in zero gravity are far preferrable to marriages with zero gravity!
I was going to write that we’re drowning in bad jokes here, but that would be a bad joke…..
