Till A Macabre Death Do Us Part...

A Valentine’s Day wedding. A romantic location. An exotic honeymoon. It’s a sure-fire way to begin a lifelong marriage of love, commitment, and devotion, right? Well, not if you’re Kanchana Ketkaew and Bunthawee Siengwong, of Thailand.

Kanchana, you see, is Thailand's Scorpion Queen, having set a (since-broken) world record in 2002 for spending 32 days in a glass cage with 3,400 scorpions, while Bunthawee, Thailand's Centipede King, set a Thai record for enduring 28 days with 1,000 centipedes.

This couple, apparently having no aspiration to becoming Thailand’s answer to Ward and June Cleaver, held their Valentine's Day's nuptials Tuesday at a haunted house, according to an Associated Press article. Kanchana's bridal gown on Tuesday was adorned with live scorpions, while Bunthawee enticed his bride by placing a centipede in his mouth.

Six other couples also donned scary makeup and blood-spattered dresses to wed in ghoulish style. They held a traditional Thai ceremony in which elders blessed the couple with holy water. Each couple then climbed into a coffin to symbolically consummate their union.

I’m going to go out on a rotted, bug-infested limb here and predict that this marriage is over the first time one of them calls Terminix.
