Undersea Adventure Wedding Theme

Ok, yesterday I stated that we will bring you one wedding theme a day for 12 days and this is day 2.  While I was going through the list of wedding theme ideas sent to me by one of my readers, I came across “Undersea Adventure Wedding Theme”.  Hmm… One of my thoughts is does she mean a “beach wedding”?  Or maybe a “faux underwater wedding theme” – which means that the wedding and reception will be held above water – inside a hall or maybe an aquarium like the the Monterey Bay Aquarium in Northern California, with all the trimmings of undersea scape.  Not a bad idea.
