Awwww Scorpion Queen and Centipede King Marry

[underpants]

PATTAYA, Thailand - The couple with a soft spot for creepy crawlers — Thailand's Scorpion Queen and Centipede King — held their Valentine's Day's wedding Tuesday at a haunted house.

Kanchana Ketkaew, 36, who set a world record in 2002 for spending 32 days in a glass cage with 3,400 scorpions, wedded 29-year-old Bunthawee Siengwong who set a Thai record for enduring 28 days with 1,000 centipedes.

Kanchana's world record was beaten in 2004.

Kanchana's bridal gown on Tuesday was adorned with live scorpions, while Bunthawee enticed his bride by placing a centipede in his mouth.


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.
