Shark Tank Wedding

RIVERHEAD, N.Y. — A New York couple has taken the plunge inside a shark tank.

April Pignataro and Michael Curry were lowered in a steel cage into the tank to exchange their wedding vows at Atlantis Marine World in Riverhead, N.Y, on Sunday.

She wore a white wet suit; he wore a black one.

The experienced divers spoke their vows into radio headgear transmitted to a minister outside the tank. About 75 guests watched from behind glass.

The tank is part of the Lost City of Atlantis shark exhibit.

Boy aren't they tough. Do it without the tank.

Idiots. Though with a face like hers they really didn't need a cage, that's plenty of shark repellant for any shark.

Sorta like what Kate Rogers did when she married Rush Limbaugh on Saturday — except that in Kate's case, the shark was inside the cage with her and wearing a suit.

Were divorce lawyers circling outside the tank?

The divorce proceeding will be held in a shark tank too, but without the cage.

Is this the bride telling the groom her views on oral?

Well, it makes for a very colorful, imaginative marriage.

I wonder what the vows are in these waters?

Really, sounds like they have tons of fun together.

If anyone has a video of this marriage ceremony, I would love to see it.

It's Rainmaking Time!

Isn't it unusual to invite your future divorce lawyers to the wedding?

Very soon people will be getting married in a pit/tank full of venomous snakes, scorpions and tarantulas! Oh how romantic! *SMH* How is that for a theme wedding?

thanks, saved me from a bad joke.

WOW, you talk about different but where is the common sense and safety..... ??
03:45 PM on 06/07/2010
If they're experienced divers (AND in a controlled environment), I don't see how safety is an issue. The aquarists and volunteers working there probably dive in that tank daily, so how is that a lack of common sense?

I used to be scared of sharks but then I got married. HELLO!

Is it okay that I read this in the voice of Mike Myers?
