Two identical twin brothers have married two identical twin sisters in a joint wedding ceremony in China.
The two couples, from Binhai town, look so much alike that members of their own family struggle to tell them apart.
One brother, Yang Kang, 23, met and fell in love with one of the sisters, Zhang Lanxiang, at work in Wuxi, reports People's Daily.
The other couple, brother Yang Jian and sister Jiang Juxiang, met at their engagement party and instantly fell for each other.
"When we told our respective parents, they agreed instantly, saying this is a symbol of great luck," said Zhang Lanxiang.
Yang Kang said he had only mixed up the sisters once: "We were buying marriage stuff together, and I accidentally held my fiancee's sister's hand, while she also mistook me for my brother.
"I only realised the mistake when my brother ran over and split us up."
At their joint wedding, the brothers sported different haircuts while the sisters wore different coloured dresses so people could tell them apart.
"We really can't distinguish who's who, so we ask them to name themselves before speaking," said Zhang Shengzhong, the father of the twin sisters.
And the grandmother of the twin brothers admitted: "If I can't tell the difference, I just answer them with a smile without speaking."
