00:00His brow furrowed as he took in the two images in front of him.
00:03Then, he raced over to their medical charts to find their blood work.
00:06It didn't make sense.
00:07Brianna and her sister watched with growing concern as the doctor's eyes widened further
00:11and further in disbelief.
00:13How is this possible?
00:14He muttered.
00:15Suddenly, he looked at them with something resembling fear.

00:24Brianna, Dean, and her twin sister, Brittany, had a special bond.
00:27They were closer than any other twins they knew.
00:29But when it came to their dating life,
00:31they preferred to keep their love interests quiet until they were sure it was serious.
00:34This worked out great for the most part.
00:36But this time, Brianna really wished she said something sooner.
00:39The girls were unique women, with their own likes, personality, quirks, and attitudes.
00:43One big example was the fact that Brittany loved flying, but Brianna was terrified,
00:47which made vacations quite the challenge.
00:49However, their individuality didn't spare them from the many problems
00:52that life made them suffer through together.
00:54Brittany remembered one particularly scary hospital visit when they were very young.
00:58All she knew was that both of them were in pain and could barely breathe,
01:02while their parents yelled at the doctors for not knowing what they were doing.
01:05After that, the twins developed a distrust of health professionals,
01:08and it was a distrust that would be tested sooner than they thought.
01:11Brianna bumped into her future husband at a twins festival in Twinsburg, Ohio.
01:15His name was Josh Salyers, and he also had a twin, Jeremy.
01:19Brittany and Jeremy casually chatted as sparks flew between Brianna and Josh.
01:23Soon, they fell in love, and it was time to tell Brittany that she finally found the one.
01:27But Brittany also had a secret of her own.
01:29Brianna watched her sister's face transform into shock and awe as she told her all about Josh Salyer.
01:34Her reaction didn't make much sense until she returned the favor and told her that she had
01:37been dating his twin brother, Jeremy, where things had also gotten serious.
01:41The girls dreamed of a white wedding and of all four of them moving into the same house.
01:45They wanted to live together under one roof so that they would stay as close together as possible
01:49and remain in each other's lives.
01:51But first, there was something they had to do.
01:53And soon, they'd find out that this wouldn't be the fairy tale they were hoping for.
01:57They had to visit the doctor.
01:58All they wanted to do was talk to a midwife, but the entire family eventually pressured
02:02them into visiting a bland office that smelled of disinfectant.
02:05Bad news had always filled places like these.
02:07When the doctor walked in wearing a slight frown, their hearts started to race.
02:11Was it bad news?
02:12Since Brianna and her sister were in their late 30s, they decided they wanted to get a fertility
02:17check.
02:17It was just a precaution.
02:18But when they told the doctor that they were dating identical twins too, they were shocked
02:22by what the doctor said.
02:24Although they were fertile, the doctor warned them against starting a family with their
02:27unorthodox partners, but Brittany and Brianna wouldn't listen.
02:30It wasn't long after that, Josh and his twin, Jeremy, proposed simultaneously to Brianna and
02:35Brittany.
02:35As in keeping with the way the two pairs of twins have lived their lives, they did absolutely
02:39everything together.
02:41They got married together, bought a house to live in together.
02:44Everything seemed to be going great, but deep within the corners of Brianna's mind, all
02:48she could think of was the doctor's stark warning.
02:50Brittany and her sister Brianna had made headlines when they got engaged to another pair of identical
02:54twins.
02:55The story went viral and TLC offered to pay for the entire wedding if they could film
02:59and air the event.
03:00It was a magical experience that was so different compared to the years leading up to this special
03:04day.
03:05Brianna felt jitters and tears as she walked down the aisle and got married, with her best
03:09friend and twin sister right beside her, and the wonderful euphoria lasted all the way
03:13through the honeymoon.
03:14Of course, it wasn't long until they were both pregnant.
03:16The amazing news, however, was quickly countered with an unpleasant reality.
03:21Brianna tried to ignore the feeling that something wasn't quite right about all this.
03:24Perhaps the ideas about how they wanted to live their life were wrong.
03:27She held her swollen tummy in her hands as she wished she stayed to listen to what the
03:31doctor had to say.
03:32What was so important that he'd discourage them from starting a family?
03:36Disaster was just around the corner.
03:37Brittany was three months pregnant when she suffered a miscare.
03:40With Brianna four weeks behind her, she feared that this same thing would happen to her.
03:44They had the same body, after all.
03:46After an anxious wait, it was as predicted.
03:49Brianna followed in her sister's footsteps and had a miscarriage at exactly the same time
03:53frame.
03:53It was a devastating loss, but it didn't discourage them.
03:56It was less than half a year by the time Brianna and Brittany found themselves pregnant again.
04:00This time, the pregnancies were smooth and their checkups with their doctor were more frequent.
04:04But once again, they faced another warning.
04:06They listened as the doctor reinstated how rare this situation actually was, and how little
04:11they knew about the repercussions involved in such a medical anomaly.
04:14The doctor sat across from their group and sighed.
04:17Ladies, I thought I told you to come and talk to me before you decided to start a family.
04:21Brianna felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand up in anger.
04:24No, you told our mother that.
04:26He shook his head and pulled out a folder.
04:28It was her and Brittany's medical history.
04:30He went on to use words like testing, health, prenatal preparation, and a bunch of other medical
04:35jargon.
04:36She tightened the grip on her husband's hand.
04:38Who was he to say they shouldn't have kids now?
04:40She was about to tell him off, but the next piece of news was heartbreaking.
04:44The doctor went on to explain that because of their past genetic problems and the pending
04:47tests on their husbands, there was a chance that both she and her sister's baby could have
04:51the same defective genetic issues passed down to them.
04:54In short, their kids could be as sick as the girls had been when they were babies.
04:57It's obviously your body and your choice, the doctor said.
05:00I just wish you would have come here so we could have prepared better.
05:03Now, all we can do is watch closely and be careful.
05:06Brianna leaned into her husband and started to cry.
05:08Two thoughts crashed and fought around in her head.
05:11First, she hated everything to do with hospitals.
05:13But second, it was her job to make sure her family would be safe and healthy.
05:18Babies might have been a grab bag of genetic materials, but their pairing of identical
05:22twins created an entirely different set of odds.
05:24Then, the doctor looked at their scans.
05:27His eyes popped as he took in the two images he held in his hand.
05:30Then, he raced over to their medical charts to find their blood work.
05:33It didn't make sense.
05:34Brianna and her sister watched with growing concern as the doctor's eyes darted across
05:38their scans and test documents.
05:40What was he seeing?
05:41Is everything okay?
05:42Brianna asked as she looked at her sister, who lay on the ultrasound table beside her.
05:46Then, suddenly, the doctor's mind stopped racing.
05:49His eyes widened in disbelief as he let out a big sigh.
05:52His hands fell to his side as he approached the twins.
05:54What was wrong?
05:56Was this what he warned them about?
05:57But what he was about to say was far beyond anyone's expectations, including his own.
06:02The doctor grabbed a chair and sat next to the twins as he explained what the test results
06:05were now beginning to show.
06:07It was the unknown that he was most nervous about for them.
06:09But now, things were starting to become clear.
06:12Although Brianna's and Brittany's babies are from two different fathers and two different
06:15mothers, they are only respectively cousins.
06:18Which means, genetically speaking, Brianna and Brittany's children, current or future, as
06:23long as they remain with their spouses, will always be full biological siblings to each
06:27other, even though they would have different parents.
06:29The couple's doctor described their rare situation as like winning the lottery, and
06:33for the twins and their husbands, it truly felt that way.
06:36While waiting for their babies to arrive, Brianna and Brittany spent their bedriss together,
06:40sharing the same cravings, worries, and excitement as their pregnancies progressed.
06:44Eight months and two weeks later, Brianna went into labor first, and, only hours later,
06:49Brittany felt her own water break.
06:51Being separated was the hardest part, knowing the other was experiencing the same intensity
06:55of pain.
06:56They had accepted the risks and pushed through with hope.
06:58When both babies were delivered healthy, the sisters cried with relief.
07:02They understood how fortunate they were and agreed to seek medical guidance before considering
07:06more children.
07:06Their unusual story quickly drew attention.
07:09Living in one home with four parents meant their babies would grow up as siblings in every
07:13sense, and the public found this fascinating.
07:16Interviews multiplied, and while many celebrated their story, others reacted with disbelief or criticism.
07:22TLC highlighted the Dean sisters' distinctive wedding to the Salyer brothers, airing Our Twin
07:27Insane Wedding, where identical twin couples were married by identical twin ministers in
07:31a twice-upon-a-time ceremony.
07:33With the birth of the babies, interest surged even more.
07:36Identical twins marrying identical twins was already rare.
07:39Raising children together under one roof made the story even more extraordinary.
07:43Some people questioned the closeness of their arrangement, finding it unconventional that
07:46two married couples lived together and intended to raise their families as one unit.
07:50But for Brianna and Brittany, it felt natural.
07:53They already worked at the same law firm, and Jeremy and Josh also worked together, making
07:58shared commutes and combined routines practical.
08:00More importantly, the twins had always been inseparable and couldn't imagine living apart.
08:04Though unusual, the arrangement simply worked for them.
08:07Of course, media appearances brought recurring questions.
08:10Audiences often asked whether the couples ever became confused or mixed up their spouses.
08:15The sisters dismissed the idea immediately, finding it strange that people fixated on such notions
08:19and insisting it had never happened.
08:21Their parenting journey had been planned carefully.
08:23Brianna and Brittany openly shared that they wanted to experience pregnancy together, coordinating
08:28their timing as much as possible.
08:29Being pregnant at different times would have been emotionally difficult for them, given the
08:33physical and lifestyle changes involved.
08:35Their shared lifestyle had roots even before meeting Jeremy and Josh.
08:38The sisters once considered creating a blog focused on identical living, showing how deeply
08:43connected they were.
08:44In an unexpected parallel, their husbands mirrored them in birth order as well.
08:48Brianna and Jeremy both firstborn twins, Brittany and Josh both secondborn.
08:52The symmetry only deepened their sense that the couples were perfectly matched.
08:55After their babies arrived, the four parents felt overwhelming joy.
08:59Their lives, already intertwined, felt complete.
09:02They often reflected on how natural their bonds felt, almost as if they were designed to
09:06find each other.
09:06Brittany believed she gravitated toward Jeremy and Brianna toward Josh, because each pair instinctively
09:11recognized the counterpart most like themselves.
09:14Moments like their double wedding reinforced this feeling.
09:17As Brittany once said, the stars had to align.
09:19I get to marry the man of my dreams and, at the same time, I get to look over next
09:23to me
09:24and see my twin sister marrying the man of her dreams.
09:27The story captured people's imaginations because the odds of such a pairing were so small, and
09:31culminate in a life where, for the Salyer couples, all of their childhood dreams came true.
09:36Until then.
09:36Morning.
09:37Morning.
