So, in honor of two-day, we spoke with identical twins and couples getting married, all celebrating 2-22-22, two-gether.
Twice upon a time
Take it from the reality stars and twins who married two twins — the best things in life come in pairs.
The couples also had quaternary twins, which are babies born to twins and who are first cousins and share DNA hard to distinguish from that of siblings.

Identical twin sisters, Brittany and Briana, met identical twin brothers, Josh and Jeremy, in 2017 at the annual Twins
