SHARKS AT OUR WEDDING
通过ridck zadeh.
2013年夏末,我弟弟结婚了to his girlfriend Myrthe. We all went to Marrakech for a sun-drenched 3 day wedding and we all had a lovely time.
When I witnessed my little brother saying I do, I was already 40 years old, but it was just then that the wedding ‘bug’ really hit me. I had been together with my girlfriend Sabine for 13 years and instead of getting married, buying a house and thinking about babies, we had been diving and travelling around the world together.
寻找最好的潜水场所经常意味着我们最终访问了真正的蜜月目的地。我们总是感到自豪地说'不,我们不是蜜月旅行的人',也很高兴能够“潜入我们自己的小泡沫充满鱼类和珊瑚”。
但嘿,那里的抽搐是什么?我突然想要更多吗?
因为我是来自法国的本土(Sabine崇拜它的一切),我最初计划在巴黎的埃菲尔铁塔顶部提出。但由于她非常关注(最少说),我知道在没有她注意到发生的事情的情况下,这几乎不可能。也许我可以在4月份的巴哈马节日假期期间找到一个特殊的时刻?
作为我所处的狂热潜水者,我已经在4周结束时在新的普罗维登斯的新普罗维登潜水中预订了着名的鲨鱼潜水。我突然知道该做什么:我要在巴哈马队潜水潜水!
After 2 weeks on gorgeous Exuma and another 10 days on the beautiful and deserted island of Eleuthera, we finally arrived at New Providence. I had arranged everything already via e-mail, but when arriving at Stuart Cove’s, I was still really nervous and getting worse.
Sabine不会注意到什么?最重要的是......她会说是吗??最后它全部完全锻炼(谢谢斯图尔特湾-team!)我向她在2013年11月的一个多雨和阴天的日子里被我们的心爱的鲨鱼所包围,而且,她给了我OK信号!
At the end of the dive we felt really grateful to have been in the presence of those beautiful creatures and both finding a shark tooth even made us feel a little blessed by them. So we knew right away these animals had to become a part of our wedding adventure. Having witnessed the damage done to some of the sharks, Sabine who (as a vegan) cares deeply for animals, provided that she would only get married to me if we would raise money to save the sharks through our wedding. And so we did!
我们要求我们的客人作为婚礼礼物,帮助我们筹集鲨鱼保护和鲨鱼认识的钱‘Operation Requiem’从海牧羊人组织和/或在我们自己的小手工制作盒中删除某些东西。
We ended up raising more than EUR 2.000,– and maybe just as important initiated a lot of buzz about sharks from people who previously only thought of them as creepy and ugly. We were aware that EUR 2.000,– is hardly a drop in a bucket compared to what is needed worldwide to save the sharks, but we hoped some good could be done with also a little amount.
对于我们的蜜月,别的去往法属波利尼西亚来潜水,以潜水着名的FAKARAVA,以其健康的鲨鱼人口而闻名?我们目睹了一个珊瑚礁环境,鲨鱼仍然非常出现。知道我们可能会贡献一点才能为未来维持这个,使得更加特殊。虽然在我们的婚礼戒指中处理了粉碎的鲨鱼牙齿,但我们每天都感受到这些宏伟的生物的存在。这让我们感到幸福,已经遇到了这么多次,并敦促继续努力努力拯救他们。
