The adage that two’s company, three’s a crowd doesn’t seem to apply to this trio, who have been married in what is thought to be the world’s first three-way gay wedding.

Joke, 29, Bell, 21, and Art, 26, tied the knot on Valentine’s Day in Uthai Thani Province, Thailand.

And the trio – who say the day of the wedding was the ‘happiest of their lives’ – have become viral sensations with people worldwide fascinated by the unusual story.

‘I think we are first three-way same-sex males to have a wedding -possibly in the world,’ said Bell.

‘Some people may not agree and are probably amazed by our decision, but we believe many people do understand and accept our choice. Love is love, after all.’

Joke and Art started dating after meeting each other through business in 2010. Bell, who was studying management at Phitsanuloke University, met the pair at a party.

It wasn’t until Bell was hospitalised with a disease that the three men became close and the idea of marriage was suggested.

Thailand is considered to be very tolerant of LGBT rights however Thai law does not allow same-sex marriages, so the three men held a symbolic Buddhist wedding instead.
