Breaking the mould of a traditional church wedding, one couple opted for something a little more exotic for their big day.
Adventure-loving Forrest Galante and Jessica Evans tied the knot with a five-day party on Stocking Island in the Bahamas, surrounded by stingrays and sharks.
After saying 'I do', survival expert Forrest and his bride 'trashed the dress' playing with Southern Stingrays, before snorkelling hand-in-hand through a sea cave.

ShareForrest, 27, said: 'Our wedding was a magical day of fun in the sun.
'We both see a wedding as a great chance to have a big party with friends while doing the things we love most.
'So we combined adventure, wildlife, friends and of course booze to have the most fun party of all time, with a little romance mixed in.

'It has perfect beaches, vibrant reefs and incredible oceanic wildlife in every direction and is only accessible by sea plane or boat which is just how we like it.
'It's a place we both have some of our fondest memories from and somewhere we wanted to share with our friends.'

Forrest added: 'We intend to dive the crystal clear waters of the Pantanal in search of caiman, fish the Argentinean highlands for giant trout, canoe the Amazon River looking for river dolphins, seek out yellow anacondas in Paraguay, spearfish the Brazilian coast and glacier climb the Andes - just to name a few.
'The fact that we are married will not change anything about the way Jessica and I adventure and continue to get the most out of life.'

The couple are no strangers to living out the box, with the groom starting the celebrations with a stag party held in the depths of the Costa Rican jungle.
The reality TV star, who appeared on survival show Naked and Afraid, ventured in search of the most deadly pit vipers and crocodiles to take pictures with.
The bachelors got up close and personal with Central America's most verminous snake - the Fer-De-Lance pit viper, as well as getting giant crocodile selfies and catching rock iguanas bare handed.

Fiancee Jessica Evans was said to be less than thrilled at the adrenaline activities of choice.
Forrest admitted: 'She's always worried when I go away on wildlife adventures but she knows if there is anyone who can handle it it's me.
'However doing it at a stag party with friends and booze probably only added to the concern.'
Despite the adreneline-filled activities, the group found plenty of time to enjoy beers in the pool for a more traditional celebration
