These folks are giving a new meaning to the term “twin flame.”
Identical twin sisters Brittany Deane Salyers and Briana Deane Salyers, both 39, married identical twin brothers Josh Salyers and Jeremy Salyers, 41.
They are now raising their sons more like siblings than first cousins.
The two couples first met at the Twins Day Festival in Ohio.
According to the sisters, they felt a spark within 15 minutes of talking with the brothers.
“Jeremy and I really were attracted to each other and started gravitating toward each other,” Briana told News in November. “And Brittany and Josh started. So it was like perfectly kind of paired off.”
About six months after meeting, Josh and Jeremy proposed with matching rings.
“It was this amazing double proposal,” Briana gushed. “And it was, it was so beautiful. We even said yes at the same moment.”
The couples returned to the Twins Day Festival for a shared ceremony in 2017.
They later moved to Virginia, where they live together and operate the wedding venue Smith Mountain Manor.
In 2021, both families grew: Brittany and Josh welcomed son Jett in January, and Briana and Jeremy’s son Jax arrived in April.
Because their parents are identical twins, Jett and Jax share DNA close enough to make them genetic siblings.
“They are technically known as quaternary twins,” Briana explained to ABC News. “So they, because they are genetic brothers and they were born less than 9 or 10 months [of] each other. They’re genetic brothers [and] the same age.”
The twin couples openly share life as a quaternary marriage—identical twins married to identical twins—on their shared Instagram account.
“Talk about a flock of a feather!” they posted on Jan. 10, alongside a video set to Billie Eilish‘s “Birds of a Feather.” “Love and twins abound! We’re twins married to twins, and we’ve got DOUBLE DOUBLE DOUBLE the fun raising our astonishing quaternary twin sons together!”
They also shared holiday snaps on Dec. 14, writing, “Jett and Jax love the tradition of building and decorating gingerbread houses. This holiday, gather your little elves for a delightful gingerbread house decorating adventure too! Spark creativity with gumdrop rooftops, candy cane paths, and plenty of togetherness.”
Their family life isn’t without tension, but they’ve worked out rules to keep peace.
“If Josh and Jeremy are in an argument, Briana and I try not to get into it,” Brittany told People in 2023. “If Briana and I are in a disagreement, Josh and Jeremy try to not get into it. That’s probably good advice for anybody who’s married.”
Brittany added that each couple keeps a “forever dating” mindset to preserve romance. “Each couple does a good job of striking that balance of, yes, being best friends and family, but still keeping a certain formality,” she said.
“It’s important to really look and see what you have,” Jeremy told the outlet, “and be thankful for what you do have.”
