Could you imagine?

Newly married couple Sarah Illig and Evan Carroll were honeymooning in The Bahamas when Sarah got attacked by a shark. Luckily, she only suffered minor injuries and was able to get away from the 5ft Nurse shark instantly.

At the time, Evan was filming her swimming in the Carribean Sea and caught the whole thing on camera. She can be seen casually swimming along in relatively shallow waters when the shark bites her outstretched arm.

When posting the video, she explained:

“My husband and are in the Caribbean on our honeymoon.

Mid snorkeling with the sharks I felt a whoosh of water, something clamp down on my arm and assumed my husband was playing a prank of me. Less than a second later I realized how much it hurt and looked past where my goggles were blocking my side vision to see the shark (bigger than myself) latched on to my arm. I pulled it away/the combination of the shark releasing and got out of there.”
