The Miami couple were wed beneath the waves yesterday to help mark the 50th anniversary of the installation of the Christ of the Deep statue. The bronze sculpture is a subsea icon in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.
For the traditional wedding kiss, the bride and groom removed their SCUBA breathing mouthpieces.
The 9-foot-tall statue was submerged August 25, 1965. It became a symbol for Key Largo's John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, created in 1960 as America's first underwater preserve.
It is now part of the sanctuary. The statue is a replica of the Italian "Christ of the Abyss" that was placed in a shallow bay near Portofino, Italy, in 1954.
