CATTOLICA, Italy (Reuters) - Most people get married flanked by friends but an Italian couple tied the knot in a shark tank Saturday surrounded by the creatures they want to save.

Daniela Consolaro, 31, and Maurizio Andreosi, 40, each wearing bubble-helmet immersion suits, were lowered in a cage into the shark tank at the aquarium in Cattolica on the Adriatic coast.

Fourteen sharks swam around looking bored as the couple -- his nickname is Bull Shark and hers is Nurse Shark -- responded "I do" to Mayor Pietro Pazzaglini, communicating via a phone link.

The couple wanted to draw attention to finning, a practice where fins are cut off for use in shark fin soup, considered a delicacy in Japan and elsewhere in Asia.

Environmentalists say the practice is severely depleting shark populations around the world.
