Abby and Brittany Hensel have shared a sneak peek into Abby’s nuptials to Josh Bowling.

In a video uploaded to their TikTok account on May 3, the 34-year-old twins showed fans a series of intimate photos from Abby’s wedding to Josh, a United States Army veteran and nurse.

The first photo shows the sisters in a wedding dress, holding a bouquet of flowers next to the groom, who is dressed in a gray suit. Meanwhile, a young flower girl stands in front of the couple, donning a cream lace dress and hair bows.

Highlights
  • Abby and Brittany Hensel shared intimate wedding photos of Abby's nuptials to Josh Bowling, a U.S. Army veteran and nurse.
  • The twins captioned the wedding post "#Forever" and used Taylor Swift's "But Daddy I Love Him" as the soundtrack.
  • The sisters are now fifth-grade teachers in Minnesota and previously gained fame on the TLC show "Abby & Brittany."

The following picture shows the women posing with Josh in front of a display of foliage and what appears to be candles, while an additional photo captures the couple posing in front of a green background.

Abby and Brittany captioned the post “#Forever” and added the song But Daddy I Love Him from Taylor Swift’s latest album, The Tortured Poets Department.

The wedding took place in 2021, but it was only in March 2024 when Today reported the news of the nuptials and people learned that Abby was a married woman.

Abby and her twin sister Brittany first shared their story in 1996 on The Oprah Winfrey Show. However, it was on the TLC reality show Abby & Brittany that the public got to know more details about their daily lives.

The TV series followed them as they prepared to graduate from Minnesota’s Bethel College and later traveled to Europe.

The sisters are dicephalus-conjoined twins, which means they were born fused together at the torso.

Abby and Brittany have separate spinal cords, brains, hearts, and other organs but share those located below the waist. While Brittany controls the left side of their body, Abby controls the right.

The Minnesota twins are now fifth-grade teachers in their home state, Today reported.

I cannot believe people are being rude about this. Those girls were born with a major medical condition and have done everything possible to live their best lives in spite of it. How petty and pathetic must you be to criticize this?

But how does it work? I mean, if you're married to one, you're basically married to both, right? I'm not trying to be an a*s, but there's no way to associate with one without the other.. you're sharing your marriage bed with both..

Legally, you are incorrect. You are correct that there's no way to PHYSICALLY "associate" with one without the other, as the women are dicephalic parapagus twins - two heads joined to one torso. Each has a separate heart, stomach, spine, pair of lungs, and spinal cord. Each twin controls one arm and one leg. However, they only have one lower digestive system, one bladder, and one set of reproductive organs. But their heads (and thus their brains) are separate, making them separate people. They had to get separate driver's licenses. They have separate birth certificates (as they're still twins, though conjoined.) They once stated (back when they were teenagers) that they definitely want to become moms someday, but weren't sure (and didn't want to talk about) how it would work out at the time. I imagine that if Abby and Josh want to try to have biological children, it would have to be with Brittany's consent. But no, Josh is only married to Abby, not to "both".
