Identical Twins Marry Identical Twins At Twins Festival
PEOPLE – Identical twin sisters Brittany and Briana Deane have long dreamed of marrying identical twin brothers. Now, their childhood wish has come true.
On Saturday, Brittany and Briana (now Salyers), 32, wed Josh and Jeremy Salyers, 34, in a joint ceremony at the 2018 Twins Days Festival in Twinsburg, Ohio — where they first met a year ago. The couples were married by identical twin ministers in the ceremony themed “Twice Upon a Time.”
“It’s really been a fairy tale come true. Marrying twins is something that’s very important to us,” Briana (who married Jeremy) tells PEOPLE, describing the ceremony as a “double fairy tale.” “Even when we were little girls I can remember being in kindergarten, knowing that that is what we saw for ourselves.”
Not weird. Nope, not even a little bit. You see it happen all the time so I don’t know what everyone is gawking at. Anything can happen at the annual Twins Festival. Identical twins marrying identical twins. Just as common as any other marriage between people who don’t look exactly alike. Love is love.
And wait…there’s more!
They’re living in the same house together!
Brittany adds: “We knew that the chances were incredibly scarce. The stars had to align for our dreams to come true. I get to marry the man of my dreams and at the same time I get to look over next to me and see my twin sister marrying the man of her dreams.”
I mean I don’t want to be crass, but the swinging possibilities are endless here. However the flip side of that coin, cheating accidentally could be an issue. I don’t know how identical twins’ brains work but you gotta imagine they’re a little more empathetic and understanding of their spouses if they cheat with their other twin. It’s an easy mistake. Plus you know by definition that she’s also attracted to your brother. If she’s not, then you have a problem.
Big win for Twin Subculture.
The sisters have long been immersed in twin subculture, dressing alike, double dating and considering themselves “two halves of a whole,” so there wasn’t much trouble when they set out to plan their joint wedding.
