When Dujduan Ketsaro wed two men in a single ceremony in northeastern Thailand on Saturday, she was ready for the attention.

“Marry one and the world won’t remember,” the 37-year-old former singer-songwriter quipped to a guest. “Marry two at once and they will.”

The three-way wedding, reported by Thai newspaper Khaosod, brought together Dujduan and two Austrian partners: Roman, a retired police officer she had lived with for five years and Macky, a police officer and Roman’s best friend who had come to Thailand on holiday.

When Macky developed feelings for Dujduan, the three talked it through openly. A year later, they decided to marry.

The ceremony, held in Prakhon Chai district of Buriram province, was simple. All three received spiritual blessings and took part in a wrist-tying ritual.

Afterwards, the grooms celebrated by linking arms and leaping into a pond together.
