Saying ‘I do’ many metres below the Indian Ocean in a submersible is likely to enhance every aspect of the day, and will certainly make the wedding photographs stand out.

For those couples searching for a more traditional location, however, there are several options available, including:

• In the grounds of their hotel, either on the beach, in the beautiful gardens or in a specially-decorated wedding gazebo.
• On a private island just off the coast of Mauritius. Options include the beautiful Île des Deux Cocos – a location so beautiful that it is guaranteed to make the wedding extra special.
• In an old colonial house, where a friendly Creole mama will help prepare the bride for her big moment, following age-old traditions.
• In a very cultural way, inside an Indian temple where the bride and groom will be led through the service by a pundit. Or in the hotel where the bride can choose to wear a sari and be decorated with henna tattoos.
• In one of the island’s ancient cathedrals.
• On any public beach in Mauritius.
• On-board a gleaming white catamaran whilst cruising to a small private beach for the wedding breakfast and optional Sega show.
