In a splashy twist on destination weddings, Hassan Abu Al-Ola and Yasmine Daftardar took the plunge—literally—by exchanging vows beneath the waves of the Red Sea. Forget beachfront ceremonies and mountaintop nuptials; this daring couple decided to tie the knot underwater, making waves across social media as their photos went viral.
Surrounded by their fellow diving enthusiasts, the couple donned a white wedding gown and black tuxedo—along with the essential diving gear—for the one-of-a-kind ceremony. The event was orchestrated by Saudi Divers, a local group led by Captain Faisal Flemban, who added an extra surprise by planning an underwater celebration. “It was a beautiful and unforgettable experience,” gushed Abu Al-Ola, beaming with pride.
The newlyweds described the day as smooth sailing, with no unexpected hitches. The groom even tied their bold choice to the broader vision of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, emphasizing how their unconventional celebration aimed to support the modernization efforts sweeping through Saudi Arabia.
As their unique wedding photos continue to circulate online, one thing is certain: this couple’s love isn’t just deep—it’s ocean-deep.
