Arthur and Kim Miller decided to exchange their vows in an unorthodox way, and the newlyweds made history while at it. Per Loop News, the Millers took a love dive into Grenadian seas to say “I do,” making them the first Black couple to get married underwater.
The Millers’ wedding took place in a brand-new underwater chapel in Grand Mal, Grenada. The Grenada Tourism Authority erected the underwater chapel, and it is said to have elements of the Caribbean nation’s passion for diving and romance.
“This trailblazing couple celebrated love like never before, combining Grenada’s passion for both dive and romance in the depths of our Caribbean paradise,” Pure Grenada said. “Congratulations to the Millers on this incredible milestone! We’re honored to host this incredible, record-breaking moment that will forever be etched in the heart of Grenada’s pristine waters!”

The Caribbean is widely known for being a spot for destination weddings, and this new initiative is likely to entice adventurous couples looking to get married in a unique way.
As previously reported by Face2Face Africa, Grenada is also home to the world’s first underwater sculpture park. The park is located at the bottom of Molinere Bay and it’s only accessible by scuba diving, snorkeling, and glass-bottom boats. The sculptures are about 3-5 meters underwater, with some being just six feet below the surface.
When British sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor designed the park in 2007, his aim wasn’t just to create something that would look hauntingly beautiful underwater but to contribute to the environmental sustainability of the bay by offering a habitat for marine life, including algae and corals.
The sculptures were all constructed on land before a crane transferred them into the ocean.
