The pair, Dorota Bankowska and James Abbott, recently, and officially, married in Ms Bankowska's home city of Plock, Poland, however they both live and work in Scotland and wanted to celebrate their vows there as well.
They then came up with the idea of having a special underwater ceremony at The Underwater Centre in Fort William, where the bride works. Around 100 guests watched the couple marry in the centre's 1.5 million litre onshore seawater tank – which tends to be used for subsea training.
Ms Bankowska wore a traditional wedding dress and veil for the ceremony, the centre said, while her husband wore a kilt. Both of their outfits were weighed down for the occasion.
They were also joined in the tank by bridesmaid Ala Bankowska and best man, Charlie Cran-Crombie, while Ali MacLeod, the centre's Air Diver Training Manager, officiated at the ceremony.
The bride commented: "We're both very happy to be able to complete our wedding celebrations in such a unique way; James and I don't do things traditionally. It's great that my friends and family will be able to get a better idea of what my job is actually like, and the environment I work in.
"We're grateful to everyone at The Underwater Centre for putting on such a special event for us; the Centre has been so supportive to me as I've advanced my career. I consider the people I've met at the Centre to be good friends now, and I really love coming back to Fort William to work, and play."
Steve Ham, General Manager of The Underwater Centre, attended both of the couple's ceremonies and added: "The wedding in Poland was fantastic and we are really pleased that we were able to help her fulfil her dream of a blessing in the tank. It's very typical of Dorota and we wish her and James every happiness for the future."
