In pictures: The marriage of the famous conjoined twins Abby and Brittany

Conjoined twins Abby and Brittany Hensel live a normal life like other people, where they drive, shop, and swim. They were created conjoined and share one body with two heads.

Abby and Brittany are among the most famous twins in the world. They each have a separate head and heart, but their bodies are joined and they share legs and arms.

Recently, a photo of the wedding day, which was held in 2021, spread on social media.

A video clip believed to have been taken by one of the guests showed the twins and the groom enjoying dancing in a shared wedding dress.

Abby and Brittany are now fifth-grade math teachers at an elementary school in Minnesota.

The twins captivated the world for the first time in 1996 when they appeared on Oprah Winfrey’s show and on the cover of Life magazine.

Since then, they lived a quiet and normal life with their family, staying away from the media spotlight until they agreed to appear in a documentary when they were 16 years old.

The twins amazed doctors with their amazing ability to coordinate while playing the piano and exercising. They each have control over one side of the body, with Abby controlling the right side and Brittany the left side.
