Twins share a bond that seems almost inexplicable to those of us who had a womb all to ourselves.
From day one, twin siblings share everything — often, that bond stays with them through the rest of their lives.
That's definitely the case for Mairead and Siobhan Ryan, twin sisters from County Tipperary, Ireland.
Mairead and Siobhan are both 33, and both recently married their childhood sweethearts. They've both been dating their now husbands since all four of them were just 16.
But the twins are so inseparable that they decided to have a joint wedding as well!

Twin sisters Mairead and Siobhan are basically inseparable.
Mairead told Daily Mail: "'We've always done everything together. We live 15 minutes apart and spend most of our time together. We have our birthdays together and used to dress the same, even though we aren't quite identical."
So when it came time to plan their weddings, it only made sense for these twins to do that together, too!
Mairead and Siobhan both met their husbands when all four of them were 16 and going to the same school.
A little after they started dating, Mairead and Siobhan's mom realized she recognized Siobhan's boyfriend, Tommy, from somewhere.
They quickly realized that Tommy had been born just one day before the twins, in the same hospital.
Siobhan and Tommy, and Mairead and her husband Robert, are remarkably close — but it was Mairead and Robert who got engaged first.
In fact, Robert proposed to Mairead in 2008, but the couple held off on the actual wedding for nearly 10 years.
When Tommy and Siobhan got engaged in 2015, Mairead realized she wanted to start planning her own wedding as well.
The twins began planning separate weddings, until a friend suggested they have a joint one.
The idea may sound strange at first, but it makes a lot of sense.
Since all four of them have the same friends, their guest lists were as identical as the twins themselves. It made more sense for everyone involved to just have one wedding.
Plus, when the twins combined finances, they were able to have a much bigger wedding than they would have otherwise!
The sisters did wear different dresses, but they helped each other choose them, of course.
Mairead was given away by their mom, while their dad gave Siobhan away.
Siobhan joked that Mairead got to walk down the aisle first because she's five minutes older.
The two couples honeymooned separately, that way they were able to watch each other's kids while they were away!
