I hear they had to skip the tossing of the bouquet, because the groom ended up eating it.

It all started with Gay Marriage.

Thong Rhinow was devastated by the news...

Amphol said Thong Kham's owner, Krachang Kanokprasert, offered him the cash and the feed dowry as part of the wedding festivities.

Krachang and Ka-ching...

My gawd-is that McCain in drag?

Nice to see they Thai'd the knot. I herd they went to Cowcutta for their honeymoooooon.

[LibertarianInExile]

Cowcutta? Ruminate over that a little longer, and you'll realize that the owner cudn't afford that. And after all, they're animals...he probably just steaked them in the backyard.

[speedy]

Well then maybe it was Bullivia they went to. And whats with the goats in the wedding party? Who are they kidding? They can't chevre that one down our throats. It would behoove them to be more careful with the guest list.

And why are they both named Thong if they're Brah man cattle??
