US Army veteran tied the knot with his conjoined twin


Josh Bowling's wife Abby Hensel is famous for the television series about her and her sister Brittany. Twins share the same body. Below the waist they have everything in common, including the intestines, bladder and genitals.

Abby controls the right hand, Brittany controls the left. They are one of the few pairs of conjoined twins in the world to survive infancy. Doctors wanted to surgically separate them after birth. But the parents refused, since at least one of the sisters probably would not have survived such an operation, because they share so many organs.

At 16, Abby and Brittany received their driver's licenses by passing two tests, one for each twin. While driving, Abby controls the pedals and gears, Brittany controls the turn signals, and holds the steering wheel together.

Now the women work as mathematics teachers in an elementary school in their hometown of New Brighton (Minnesota, USA), however, they are paid one salary between them.
