A set of identical twin sisters had a dream of marrying identical twin brothers. One day, they got lucky and found their true love. One day, however, things would take a scary turn.
When both families decided to have kids and had an appointment with the family doctor, they heard the shocking news. "But doctor, is there any solution to that? - one of the twins asked. What the doctor answered made everyone burst into tears...
Twin Sisters
Brittany Deane and Briana Deane are identical twin sisters sharing a very strong bond. As kids and even to date, they try to dress up the same way, wearing the same clothes, same hairstyle and even the same accessories.
They also have studied law together. But when it came to finding a life partner, they surely weren’t ready to accept anyone but twins! Yeah, what are the chances?
The Festival
As they say, fate works in mysterious ways. Once when Brittany and Briana were attending the famous Twins Festival of August 2017 that took place in Twinsburg, Ohio, the unexpected happened.
It surely turned out to be the most magical festival for the sisters. Brittany spotted a set of twin brothers at the festival and that was the moment they realised they had to know more about them.
A Fairytale
Soon after their short meet at the festival, they began chatting and expressed how happy they were to meet each other. The boys promised to meet at the next year's festival but the wait was too long.
The brothers soon took a trip to Virginia to see these girls. Their meeting went great and the four of them began imagining their futures with each other. It all seemed like a fairytale!
The Proposal
They surely had a special connection as they soon began dating. The couples were also formed in a very “twinning” manner! Brittany dated Josh and Jeremy dated Briana. They paired up according to their birth order!
Soon, the four of them planned a trip to Twin Lakes, Virginia in February. That trip definitely proved to be a special one for the sisters as they got proposed to by their boyfriends - both at the same time!
Twin Wedding
It was difficult for all of them to wait any longer than six months to get married and it was expected that these twins weren’t going to have an ordinary wedding. They decided to have a “twin-themed” wedding! It was all planned to perfection. Anything they got for the wedding was in twos.
Whether it be the wedding dresses and tuxedos, the wedding cake or even the ministers for that matter! The destination was also Twinsburg - the place where they first met. Everything was supposed to twin that day! They also chose a rather unique hashtag for their wedding - #TwiceUponATime. But hey, they weren’t going to stop here.
The Documentary
Everything was planned and the ceremony happened without any glitches. The famous television channel - TLC also offered them a show but the four of them settled with making a documentary.
It was mainly focused on covering this unique twin-themed wedding. This documentary was aired on the channel in 2019.
Another Show
The documentary wasn’t the first or the only offer they got. People were eager to know about their lives. A famous TV show named Pickler and Ben also approached them.
They asked the couples to appear on their show in 2018. The twins accepted the offer and appeared on the show where they talked about their magical proposal, their relationship, and their twin-themed wedding.
Mixing Up
The Deane sisters and Salyer brothers are identical twins. But the brothers are not completely identical, they are look-alikes, whereas, the sisters are completely identical.
People often ask them if they have ever mixed up between the four of them or maybe even kissed the wrong one! Well such questions are bound to arise as the sisters are mirror images of each other. But the couples don’t find it difficult to identify their partners.
Future Plans
After a successful twin wedding, the couples also had other plans. The four of them planned to live together, in the same house. Their bond was so strong that they never wished to be separated. But this wasn’t all.
Brittany and Briana had also planned to have their babies almost at the same time! They felt it would be difficult for one of them to go through all these changes alone.
Four Parents
When it came to planning a family, Debra Deane, the sisters’ mother was the most worried one. She was used to thinking how their twin family would work as both parents had twin siblings.
This meant there are very high chances of them having twin children. This also meant that the kids would have four parents! But the couples weren’t bothered about that.
Special Birthday
The four of them now share a very special connection with each other. Brittany and Briana celebrated their 33rd birthday and shared a beautiful picture on social media.
Their husbands gave it a nice caption that said, “33 is an identical twin number, so this year is bound to be a good one!” Well, they were right!
More Celebrations
After their 33rd birthday, they all soon celebrated their 2nd wedding anniversary. But this one was a little intimate one.
Their 2nd anniversary falls on August 2020 which was also the year of the coronavirus pandemic. The Salyer couples weren’t able to throw a huge party and celebrated a quarantine - anniversary instead.
Big Announcement
A few days after the anniversary celebration, the couples came up with exciting news. Their fans had been waiting for this moment for a long time. On 13th August 2020, they made an announcement that the twin sisters were pregnant!
Also, the sisters’ dream of getting pregnant together came true. The couples shared their news saying “Guess what!!?? BOTH couples are pregnant! We are thrilled and grateful to experience overlapping pregnancies and to share this news with you all!”
Unique Family
The couples were really happy with the overlapping pregnancy. Along with sharing the big news, they also said that “Our children will not only be cousins but full genetic siblings and quaternary multiples!
Can’t wait to meet them and for them to meet each other!” It was surely going to become a unique family. But sometimes things really don't go as planned.
Public Interest
The news of twin pregnancy was soon out in the media. It attracted several news broadcasters and they were excited to know more about this.
Various news and lifestyle channels wanted to run their story. Soon Inside Edition invited them to share the details and experiences of their overlapping pregnancies.

It was their dream to pick out the same maternity wear. In no time, the shopping began and they chose not just one, but several matching outfits which were also perfect for their growing baby bumps.
Soul Sisters
The “matching everything” ritual wasn’t just limited to their clothes. Brittany and Briana also craved the same food during their pregnancy! Surprising isn’t it?
They both admit that they had cravings for food items like pickles, Starbursts, and even gum at the same time! The sisters were surely connected through souls!
