While you may be wondering how a man might find himself so lucky to fall in love twice in a short period of time, Jimmy Jim initially explained that his cousin had met one of the women in Sabah’s capital city, Kota Kinabalu, and was engaged to her first. He later went to work on a resort on Mabul island, and met his second wife-to-be, and fell in love.

In a move known to indecisive folks the world over, when the groom was unable to choose between paramours A and B, he decided to marry both. At once, sandwiched between two women clad in white.

Photos of the groom and two smiling women in traditional Malay clothing have made the rounds, with thousands posting comments and reactions.

One commentator wrote: “Untunglah kau, bang!” (Lucky you, brother!) which could only lead us to believe that the individual may be unmarried, and thus unfamiliar with the level of headache just one spouse can bring. Jokes!

Congratulations times two to the newlywed couple(s).
