A police spokesperson was quoted as saying by the BBC that the groom “was quite intoxicated at the time”.

They seem to think that is a fair explanation.
- You know what they say, guns and alcohol go together like peas and carrots. That is what they say, isn't it? Isn't it?
  
  It's weird, I've been really drunk and I've murdered maybe two people. Tops.
  
  I don't think so...but they do say Asians can't process alcohol very well.
- Just a thought, but it seems like the Big Black Cock might have played a role in this tragedy.
it wasn't some drunken rampage.. they were together for three years, and on the day of the wedding while they're just sitting around at somebody's house, he snaps and shoots her, her mother, and her sister.. then kills himself.. he was a 29 year old ex-military athlete missing a leg, she was 44..

What the fuck?
- What the fuck I just read ?
  
  Me too!
Has to be said: The only way to stop a bad groom with a gun is a good groom with a gun.
- The real solution is to make sure everyone involved with the wedding is armed. Including the ring bearers, whether they be child, dog, goat, etc.
  
  I always have three knives on me at every wedding I attend.
  
  Quit being racist with that goat shit.
  
  We all know Thailand is full of moped riding monkeys wearing denim, and smoking cigarettes.
  
  There was a whole documentary about it.
getting married

existential crisis hit to the extreme
Talk about cold feet.
- Good title for a trashy murder novel:
  
  Cold Feet & Hot Lead
  
  That’s brilliant actually. Except it would be the woman who shot the husband, and she’d fall in love with the investigator and make passionate love on the beach.
- His? Or hers?
  
  Yes.
- Even colder now.
- Apparently he was missing a leg so just cold foot
Jesus thats dark
ITT: Comedians who are going straight to hell.
- It's like the unwanted worthless waste runoff from reddit wound up here
- What an introduction.
Cultural differences always interest me. According to American sitcoms, just killing the mother in law would be sufficient.
- it's really a failure on the part of the Best Man.. he's specifically supposed to restrain you from killing your mother in law on your wedding day..
Should we write our own vows?

Yeah, is it okay if mine is a performance piece? It may be a bit avant garde though. I think your sister would get it.
So, what’s the etiquette at Thai weddings? Does he keep the gifts, or give them back?
This incident comes just days after Thai interior minister Anutin Charnvirakul signed an order to suspend the issuance of gun licences for a year.

… thank you for your sacrifice?
I would say this is a bit extreme for a divorce, but I don't know Thailands customs.
Sometimes you gotta play the long game.
Gosh, she really dodged a bullet there. Oh, wait; maybe she didn't........
