Newlyweds go viral after waterskiing in Lebanon

This marriage is on the water, not the rocks!

A bride and groom's photo have gone viral after they went waterskiing off the coast of Jounieh, Beirut.
The candid moment between the newlyweds was captured by AFP photographer Patrick Baz. It shows the couple completely dressed up in their wedding attire - a tuxedo for the man and a gown for the lady, taking to the waves. According to Arab News, the couple - Tommy and Nadine, got married in a civil wedding in Cyprus before vacationing and Lebanon. As the photos show, they're having the time of their lives.

Quirky weddings have alway been part of life worldwide. In this part of the world, many weddings are celebrated especially between couples from differing origins - be it India-Pakistan, Hindu-Muslim, and even right here in Dubai. Some weddings literally reach for the stars by having Bollywood celebrities come over. 
But if there's anything that can be learned from Tommy and Nadine, it's that sometimes - the best weddings involves the simplest of pleasures - water sports.
