IDENTICAL TWINS – sisters married twin brothers on the same day, wearing matching outfits.[9] The photos from the double ceremony, which took place in Ghana, were captured by captured by professional photographer Sindaco Di Lecco, who has since seen his images go viral after sharing them on Instagram.[4] Di Lecco doesn’t identify the couples wearing matching modern-meets-traditional kente cloth attire, but here’s hoping they step forward soon with the story of how all four met.[8]

The spectacle of identical twins marrying twins never seems to get old.
As of 2013, the Guinness Book of World Records had recorded 251 such couples — and several have since followed.[9] Here are a few of our favorite such foursomes, in what are called quaternary marriages:
Twins Seek Same
Indian identical twins Dinker and Dilraj Varikkassery told the Daily Mail
they decided back in high school they wanted to marry a set of twins.[10] When they finally decided to settle down, the search for the perfect brides took five years, and all sorts of matchmaking sites and ads.
“When we met Reena and Reema, we knew it was them we were looking for all this while.[2] Fortunately, they also had the similar feeling after meeting us,” Dilraj said.[1] The couples were married in Thrissur, Kerala State, India, on Nov. 8, 2015, by identical twin priests, with twin pageboys and flower girls.

It’s kind of inevitable that the home of the annual Twins Days Festival has a couple of love stories to its credit. [12]Mark Sanders met Darlene and Diane Nettemeier in the lobby of a hotel at the festival in 1998, and instantly fell in love with Darlene. Luckily, his twin Craig took to Diane.[6] Craig told the Today show that they proposed on the same day, because, he said, “We were worried, ‘Well, what happens if one proposes, what’s that one going to think?’” In 2001,[7] Craig and Diane had identical twins of their own (an extra-special occurrence because having identical twins is not hereditary).
Phil and Doug and Jena and Jill Malm got married at the Twins Days Festival in 1993.[4] When they returned for their 22nd anniversary last year, they told Inside Edition that they all live together in Moscow, Idaho.
You’re Dating Her?!
Unbeknownst to each other, Nigerian Chinonso Akinade Okueze started dating Folawemi Taiwo Okunniyi around the same time that his twin, Chibuzor Adelakin Okueze, was seeing her twin, Febisola Kehinde Okunniyi,[9] according to KemiFilani.com. Theirs was the first quaternary marriage recorded by Guinness in Africa, and lucky number 251 in the world.[6]
“This is awesome.[5] It’s great being brothers and brothers-in law to each other at the same time, and vice versa,” Chibuzor said after their joint wedding in Lagos.
Round-The-Clock Service
At a restaurant in Yiwu, China, two sets of married twins have used their identical looks to an interesting advantage.[9] The four run a restaurant,[8] and tricked customers into thinking they were just one married couple that was somehow able to work from 6 a.m. until 3 a.m. “Many diners thought we worked too hard and are like robots,[4] but they don’t know that we are actually four people,” Mao Zhanghua, 32, told reporters in 2008. Guess that secret is out.
Reluctantly Twinning
Then there’s the sad (to us) tale of Yun Fei and Yun Yang,[7] who met their husbands, Zhao Xin and Zhao Xuan, through a matchmaker in Shanxi Province, China.[3] Their identical nature must have been what made them a good match in the first place, but now they’ve had second thoughts.[10] According to the People’s Daily Online (via the Daily Mail) the sisters are undergoing plastic surgery so that they won’t be mistaken for each other anymore. Wouldn’t a different haircut suffice?[7]
