KOH CHANG: The guests, it has to be
said, were taken aback by the wedding invitation card, which announced the
nuptials of bridegroom Yeuifa Meelaap and two brides: Vassana Uysap and
Jenny Saibua.
A wedding for a threesome was unusual,
and all the more so when one realizes that the groom was also a woman.
Talking to reporters, the trio
explained that K. Vassana, a mother of one child, and K. Jenny were very
close friends, “sworn sisters”, as they put it. Together they ran Vassana
Seafood on the holiday island of Koh Chang in Trat Province.
The groom, Yeuifa, ran the nearby
Khunyoong Seafood restaurant. Each, they said, was in love with the other
two.
The groom followed tradition, paying a
bride price of a 10-baht-weight gold necklace, 300,000 in cash and a car to
each bride’s family.
People at the ceremony admitted that it
was unusual, but in no way objectionable.
The happy trio have now combined their
businesses into the Vassana Seafood and Khunyoong Seafood Talay Pao
Restaurant, and have moved into a house in nearby Rayong Province.
