This is really just an excuse to bring up the best summer movie of all time: JAWS. A New York couple has decided to get married in a shark tank this Sunday, but will April Pignataro and Michael Curry need a bigger (love) boat?
The two fancy themselves "unique," and thus decided to take the plunge in the Lost City of Atlantis Shark Tank at Atlantis Marine World in Riverhead (which offers up the service to any and all "unique" couples that have the urge to be surrounded by death, and experienced divers, on their wedding day). Their pastor, however, has decided not to join them in the water; he'll be up above with the rest of those in attendance watching the duo, who will be attired in wetsuits and a face mask which allows them to communicate. Who will be in the tank with them? Sand tiger sharks, nurse sharks, moray eels and a Queensland grouper. Wonder which one of them will swallow the ring.

The two fancy themselves "unique": big deal, we should all go & watch them get swallowed, that would be a great YouYube video of the greatest wedding ceremonies of all time:)

I want to be there and throw chum at the deserving couple, before they get a chance to breed.

Lucky sharks. They get a two for one deal!
Hopefully the newlyweds are not stringy & lacking meat.
