Brittany and Abby Hensel, conjoined twins, have passed a significant milestone in their lives. People have voiced anxiety and misunderstanding about Abby’s marriage.
Sisters Abby and Brittany became instant celebrities in 1996 when their story was featured on “The Oprah Show.” Since then, their development was documented in a TLC reality series, but the latest big event in their lives took place quietly.
Abby had a low-key wedding
According to public records obtained by Today, Abby, 34, married Josh Bowling, a US Army veteran and nurse, in 2021. The couple lives in Minnesota, where the conjoined sisters were born and currently work as fifth-grade teachers.
Social media users commented on the news. Because conjoined twins are uncommon, several people are perplexed about how they function in everyday life.
People React to the News
“I’m pleased for her but I’m not sure how it works!” a Facebook user wrote.“What happens if the other sister wants to marry someone else..or if one wants to go out and the other one doesn’t,” asked another.
Some social media users tried to put themselves in that situation. “The other conjoined twin made a huge sacrifice,” one opined, with another adding, “It’s a happy day for one but it had to be a sad day for the other. Nobody likes being the 3rd wheel. Hopefully, he is married to both technically.”
A different comment focused more on other aspects of the situation, “I don’t know if Britney will marry separately, but I doubt it because I remember one of them had said that if they were to get married, the husband would have to accept both of them..also, you can’t marry 2 women ..it’s our law to marry one wife in the USA, so he had to marry one.”
