A small podium was made under the sea where the couple could stand and perform the ceremony, Jackson, one of the managing partners of Bond Safari, Kovalam, which organised the wedding, said.

Printed questions that are part of weddings were shown to the couple to which they replied ‘I do’ in sign language, the organisers said.
