Mayor's three year old twins "marry" in Singburi to ward off bad luck

 

Picture: Thai Rath

 

The twins of Singburi mayor Narongsak Wingworn were joined in marriage yesterday in a ceremony designed to ward off potential bad luck.

 

Three year olds Win-Win (the groom in suit and tie) and Wa-Wa (the bride in flowing white bridal attire) were paid all the usual compliments of a traditional Thai wedding at the mayor's house in Bang Phusa sub-district of the central Thai city.

 

The dowry was 888,888 baht and 100 baht weight in gold (worth about two million baht) was laid out as many society figures in Singburi enjoyed the party.

 

Many Thais believe that twins have the potential to suffer bad luck and marrying them in this way helps stop misfortune.

 

Thai Rath reported that the twins had suffered some minor illnesses recently.

am sure this could be readily proven scientifically (not); don't have to wait very long here for some primitive behavior to emerge

It's not the stupidity of those amassing the money that amazes me, it's the stupidity of those supplying it.

Is that a free ticket for incest as a family tradition?

Strange how they don't say who they married and the age of those persons, hmmm, must have to do with privacy rules.....lol

The article does say he is the Mayor of Singburi maybe that has something to do with it. Wink wink.

I suppose on the bright side her dowry will be down for the next 4 year old as she will have be a divorcee !

Yes. The practice of marrying twins has been carried out for centuries, and actually has a basis in science, and a great understanding of natural law. It is carried out with a tremendous degree of intelligence, wisdom, natural guidance from the universe, and vision. Actions like this are only carried out by very spiritual people, who spend hours a day in contemplation, meditation and prayer.

 

Nature, spirit and Buddha are all very impressed with all that cash and gold.

One would be designated a ladyboy , someone the pair could play with.

Superstitious claptrap, unlike organised religions which vary depending on the name of your imaginary friend
