Couple falls into river during pre-wedding photo shoot in India

A couple almost lost their lives after they fell into a river during their pre-wedding photo shoot in India.
The couple identified as Tijin Thankachen and Silpa were photographed in a canoe in the Pamba river in Kadammanitta, the south Indian state of Kerala.
Holding a banana leaf over their heads the photo, which is used for their save the date cards, depicts a romantic scene where they are caught in rainfall.

But as the photographer tells the couple to lean in closer and share a kiss the boat loses balance.Leaning towards his fiancée Tijin causes the boat to dramatically tilt to one side.



And, as if in slow motion, the couple are dramatically tipped in to the river as the canoe tips over.Those around them laugh as they are dunked under the water  and Tijin has to pull his fiancée from the shallow water.

The couple are set to marry on May 6, 2019.
