Two sets of identical twins have tied the knot in a double wedding in Akwa Ibom State, bringing together twin sisters from the state and twin brothers from Abia State in a ceremony that attracted relatives, friends and other well-wishers.
Couples and Background
The brides, Roselyn and Joycelyn Bernard, are from Nung Efa community in Obio Offot, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, while the grooms, Victor and Vincent Obasi, hail from Isiala Ngwa North Local Government Area of Abia State.
According to a report by Linda Ikeji's Blog, Joycelyn married Victor, while her twin sister, Roselyn, married Vincent.
Wedding Ceremonies
The couples celebrated their traditional wedding on Saturday, October 10, 2026, at St Mary's Primary School in Obio Offot, Uyo. The ceremony drew a large gathering of family members, friends, well-wishers and curious community members.
Their church wedding had taken place earlier at Peculiar Citizens Assembly.
Public Attention and Similar Cases
The double wedding drew attention because of the striking resemblance between the siblings. The report noted that the sisters share similar facial features, height, skin tone and smiles, while the brothers also have closely matching physical features, height and complexion.
The union has added to a growing list of unusual twin-to-twin weddings that have captured public attention in Nigeria. In June 2026, twin brothers Taiwo and Kehinde Oguntoye married twin sisters Taiwo and Kehinde Adediran in a joint wedding ceremony in Ibadan, Oyo State. That wedding also attracted attention because the couples shared matching first names.
However, no further details about how the Akwa Ibom and Abia couples met or began their relationships were included in the report.
