Sisters Brittany and Briana Deane were as close as two siblings could be, and the identical twin sisters shared a dream: to marry identical twin brothers! The knew making that a reality was going to take more than a flashy smile and a few good pick-up lines, but they had no idea that it was the moments after the nupitals that would truly change their lives.
Brittany And Briana Deane
No, your eyes aren’t fooling you, and this isn’t one woman standing next to a mirror. This is Brittany and Briana Deane, two identical twin sisters, and best friends, from Virginia. They’re not attached at the hips — but they may as well be, given their lifestyles.

Embracing Twin Status
The 31-year-old besties completely embraced their twin status, frequently dressing alike and doing practically everything together. From day one, it was a dream of theirs to marry twin brothers, which is why once a year they traveled to Ohio.
Twins Days Festival
In the aptly named town of Twinsburg, Ohio, the residents host an annual Twins Days Festival where hundreds of pairs of twins celebrate their unique relationships. The Deane sisters went every year since 2011, but something life-changing happened in 2018.
Noticing The Salyers
While the sisters were enjoying themselves among the company of the other coupled siblings, they noticed Josh and Jeremy Salyers, two twin brothers who were experiencing their very first Twins Day. Needless to say, attraction was in the air.
Putting Nerves Aside
It was Brittany who first saw the brothers perched on the bleachers enjoying the day. She immediately pointed them out to Briana, and just before the festival ended, they put their nerves aside and struck up a convo.
An Instant Connection
Well, it seemed one of the attendees at the festival was Cupid, and he fired his arrow into both pairs. Their connection was instant, and within no time at all four were spending as much time as possible together.
Perfect Partnerships
It was Josh who began a romantic relationship with Brittany, while Jeremy and Briana shared an equally strong attraction with each other. The girls also discovered something completely mind-blowing about their new partners.
Making A Huge Move
The Salyer brothers, just like them, had dreamed about falling in love with identical twins! It literally could not have played out any more perfectly, until both brothers made a huge move.
Popping The Big Question
Just months after the 2018 Twins Day festival, Josh and Jeremy both dropped down on one knee and popped the big question to the Deane sisters. With tears in their eyes and smiles on their faces, the sisters said “Yes!”
Achieving Childhood Dreams
It was now official: The Salyer boys were helping the Deane sisters — and themselves — achieve their dreams of matching up with identical twins. Now, it was time to plan the big day.
Six Months Away
Never ones to slack off when it came to their futures, the wedding ceremony was set for only six months after the brothers asked for the sisters’ hands in marriage. Naturally, the wedding was twin-themed.
The Big Day Arrives
Six months of meticulous planning went by in the blink of an eye, and on February 2, 2019, the big day finally arrived. And, it wouldn’t have been complete without two twin ministers to marry both couples!
Matrimony At Twinsburg
It was imperative the twins threw the ceremony at a place that held special meaning to all four of them, so they naturally picked Twinsburg, Ohio, where their love first blossomed.
“A Fairy Tale Come True”
The wedding went off without a hitch, with Briana proudly saying of the big day, “It’s really been a fairy tale come true. Marrying twins is something that’s very important to us.” Brittany spoke out, too.
“The Stars Had To Align”
“The stars had to align. 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,” added Brittany.
Twins On Twins On Twins
The Salyer boys and Deane girls weren’t even close to the only sets of twins who helped celebrate the matrimony. It seemed like everywhere you looked you saw double, but that was exactly what made the day so unique!
TLC Takes Notice
But, it wasn’t just the wedding attendees who acknowledged how unique the event was. The unity between the couples caught the attention of TLC, and the network actually filmed a documentary about the couples’ lives called Our Twinsane Wedding!
A Twin Pregnancy
If things couldn’t get any more unusual, not long after both sisters announced they were pregnant at the same time! Brittany, clearly thrilled about the announcement, described how she envisioned the parenting going down once the little ones arrived.
“All Raising Our Families Together”
“When we have children, my and Josh’s children will be genetic siblings to Briana and Jeremy’s children. Even though they’re cousins, they’re technically genetic siblings. We imagine it will be like two moms and two dads all raising our families together.”
Astronomical Odds
The odds of something like this happening are pretty astronomical, but then again, love knows no bounds. For the Salyer couples, their childhood dreams came true. People wonder if these dreams were learned or stemmed from their twin-ness.
