Twins separated at birth end up married to each other
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7182817.stm

A pair of twins who were adopted by separate families as babies got married without knowing they were brother and sister, a peer told the House of Lords.
A court annulled the British couple's union after they discovered their true relationship, Lord Alton said.

The peer - who was told of the case by a High Court judge involved - said the twins felt an "inevitable attraction".

==================


all I can say is - ewww!

13. sounds like a VC Andrews novel!
:crazy:

But seriously, how much would that suck, if you found out your significant other, whom you loved deeply, was your sibling? I couldn't imagine the heartbreak and revulsion.

14. I wonder how the "wow, we're both adopted, and we both have the same birthday, and
now that you mention it, we have the same nose and the same shellfish allergy..." dots didn't get connected. Unless their birth certificates didn't actually list their proper birthday.

15. True...
especially as they were twins. Can't get more incestuous than that.
