Mr. and Mrs. Bug Lover
By Never teh Bride
I guess none of you folks out there got engaged on Valentine’s Day. Well, neither did I. It’s probably more romantic to be proposed to on some random day of the year, like June third or the fifth of September. However, at least one semi-famous couple was married yesterday. Mr. Kanchana Ketkaew, who set a world record by spending thirty-two days in a cage with 3,400 scorpions, and Ms. Bunthawee Siengwong, who set a similar record by cavorting with with 1,000 centipedes, were wed in Thailand. Supposedly, they had plans to consumate their wedding in a coffin. Congrats!
And, since I’m all about the belated Valentine’s Day stuff, I wanted to highlight a sweet little contest hosted by GetVendors.com (now ended), where people were able to post a free Valentine message to their sweeties on a blinking red and white heart gif - rollover the red circles to read the notes. It’s kind of crazy looking, but I like to read the love notes folks left the same way I like to read the ten pages of Valentine’s Day classifieds in the paper every year. Yay Valentine voyeurism!

Scorpions and centipedes? They are definitely a match made in umm…heaven? Hey, its different strokes for different folks. Hey, no one can say nothing about what I’m going to do at my wedding.

As my father would have said, at least these they’re saving two perfectly normal people.
That’s one wedding I bet the guests never forget!

With hat you could save money on entertainment or even make money by writing a how-to-have-a-weird-wedding book of some kind. OK, I’m stretching it a bit here.

Ahahaha, Twistie, your dad was probably right about that!
Looking at the pic, Vicky, I can only imagine that the wedding was definitely wierd with a capital W.

Twistie - HA! So true. I can think of 9000 people that saying applies to. 8999 of them being in my family alone.
Dear Bug People,
See you in my nightmares.
Love,
Jayne

Ew. Too darn weird for me. Did anyone ever watch the MTV special where Carmen Electra and Dave Navarro took the pic for their wedding invite in a morgue, while laying naked on the autopsy tables!?!?! This pic kinda reminds me of that, except creepy- crawly-er….
And hey! My real name is Jayne as well! Jayne with a Y! Whoo-hoo!

Hi J girl. We’re a rare breed, no? Though I’m a faux Jayne with a Y. I inserted the Y when I was 11 to emulate my extra cool older sister who started spelling her name in a silly way. But I like my Y, I’ll keep it.
And yes, ick on the Carmen Electra photos. I remember thinking that doing that photo shoot was neither funny nor interesting. It just…was.

Looks like a match made in Heaven! At least they won’t have to worry about people “bugging” them.
