Conjoined twins Abby and Brittany Hensel have offered a new glimpse into Abby’s wedding to a nurse and army veteran.
Conjoined twins Abby and Brittany Hensel have offered a new glimpse into Abby’s wedding.
Abby, a teacher, married nurse and United States Army veteran Josh Bowling in 2021, but only shared news of the nuptials in March this year, The New York Post reports.
The 34-year-old, who along with Brittany appeared on US reality series Abby & Brittany, posted a compilation of photos from the big day in a TikTok video, backed by Taylor Swift’s “But Daddy I Love Him”.
The clip featured four new photos of the twins and Abby’s husband, and has garnered 3.4 million views.
It begins with a shot of Abby, Brittany and Josh posing with a young flower girl holding a bouquet of flowers on the big day.
A second photo shows Abby and Brittany in their wedding dress, standing alongside Josh, who wears a grey suit, in front of candles and a floral display.
The final two photos in the montage - posed pictures of the trio - don’t appear to be from the wedding.
“#forever,” the caption read.
Abby and Josh’s 2021 union at the Jerome Event Centre in Delano, Minnesota, didn’t become known to the public until Today.com obtained public records confirming the nuptials earlier this year.
Abby reportedly did not list her twin as a witness to her marriage. Abby and Josh instead listed the twins’ other sister, Morgan Hensel, and a person named Cosmo Naut as the witnesses.
The twins first gained national attention in 1996 when they appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show, and they eventually got their own TLC show in 2012.
Abby and Brittany are dicephalic conjoined twins, which means they have two heads side-by-side on one torso, sharing the same organs below the waist as well as the same bloodstream.
Brittany has control of their left arm and leg, while Abby has control of the right side.
