Love At First Bite: "Scorpion Queen" To Marry "Centipede King"

I don't know them personally, but I have a feeling they kind of do stuff just for attention:

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

...

They will wear bloodstained wedding clothes and partake in a traditional Thai ceremony in which elders bless the couple with holy water, Somporn said. But instead of following Thai tradition and heading to a "wedding room" after exchanging vows, the pair plans to climb into a coffin to consummate their union.

How did these two manage to remain single for so long?

When I get married, I just want something simple. Just a few friends, close family members, and a reenactment of the Vulcan Betrothal Ceremony from Amok Time. Me and the best man will fight it out with Vulcan halberds, and then back to a tastefully decorated cave for some hot p'rong farr.*

Classy and understated.

* No, I don't know the Vulcan word for sex. And if you do, you should be ashamed of yourself.
