Two Texas Officiants Make a Splash with Underwater Weddings

These Texas diving instructors turned wedding officiants will help you plunge into marriage in a unique underwater wedding

 

 

 

A husband-and-wife wedding officiant team are taking their love of adventure to new depths… with underwater destination weddings! 

 

Meet AMM Officiants Nicki and Brandon Storm – the dynamic duo behind ‘Storm Unlimited,’ a brand-new, all-things-diving business in San Antonio, Texas. 

 

Meet Brandon and Nicki Storm:

Brand-new wedding officiants and open water enthusiasts in San Antonio, Texas... and abroad!

 

 

The Storms’ new business offers a variety of services, including several PADI and SSI scuba diving certification courses, underwater photography, travel and destination wedding packages, and, you guessed it, underwater wedding ceremonies!

 

Nicki and Brandon hope their unique deep-diving wedding packages will set them apart from other officiants in the area by attracting adventure lovers, snorkeling and scuba enthusiasts, and couples ready to take the plunge (literally!) in a nontraditional way… Couples just like them.

The Storms share a love of adventure, open water, culture, and travel, and they’ve visited more than 40 countries combined. They’re bringing that same spirit to their business, and to the couples they marry. 

 

As they say on their website, “We have to continuously move and explore the world. With that in mind we created a small company that gives people a wide array of experiences to make new memories.” 

 

Of course, it takes a lot of knowledge, planning, and quick thinking to ensure a wedding ceremony below the surface goes swimmingly. That’s where Nicki and Brandon’s special expertise comes in: Nicki is a certified Open Water Scuba Instructor;  Brandon is an experienced diver and underwater photographer and videographer; and both are retired military veterans, with years of experience in the water and traveling abroad.

Nicki tells us that the couples they marry can expect a high attention to detail and safety on their big day. The wedding party will be joined underwater by Nicki, Brandon, and an associate dive master who will assist with precautions and ceremony delivery, and the couple will need to be scuba certified themselves before jumping in.
