The two identical couples
Zhao Xin and younger brother Zhao Xun, identical twin brothers in
China married identical twin sisters but they so identical that they are
now set to have minor cosmetic surgery in order to help with their
awkward identification problems.
The decision comes after friends and family had constantly
complained about not being able to tell them apart before, during, and
after their wedding.
But the issue reached a worrying point when one brother found
himself holding the hand of his sister-in-law one night after dinner.
Zhao Xin and Zhao Xun, from a village in Yuncheng City, in North
China’s Shanxi Province, had been causing headaches for their relatives
ever since they started dating sisters Yun Fei and Yun Yang, from a
village 6 miles away.
Even on their wedding day during the past Chinese New Year , the
couples and their parents had to double-check several times to ensure
they were not marrying the wrong partner.
The two pairs of identical siblings, aged 22, are said to be so
alike that it is not even possible to tell them apart by their voices.
While plastic surgery is still largely taboo in conservative
Chinese societies, the couples and their relatives believe a minor
adjustment would do them a world of good.
They are especially keen to avoid awkward situations similar to
that which occurred earlier this year, when one of the newlywed husbands
apparently ended up holding the hand of his brother’s wife during an
evening stroll after dinner.
Reports said a hospital in China’s eastern city of Shanghai has
agreed to take on the couple’s case, and will make small adjustments to
their appearance so they can distinguish each other more easily.
