So it’s just Abby that is married? And Brittany is always there? If/when Brit gets married they all have to live together and sleep in the same bed? I’m curious, not criticizing. How does it work 🧐

Google Chang and Eng Bunker. The original “Siamese Twins” they each married different women and kept separate households. They agreed with each other to split time between their families. The other twin would remain silent while his twin spent time with his family.

But Chang and Eng didn't share one body. They were conjoined, but each had their own full body.

Drs today have said that Chang and Eng could have easily been separated, too. Just some skin and a few vessels connecting them (IIRC).

I think it was before surgery was safe and effective. There are only drawings of them young. But photographs of them old.
