Twin Wedding: Ghanaian Twin Sisters get Married same day; they Share Their Wedding Preparation Journey

Like many twins, Belinda and Bernice were inseparable growing up. They attended the same secondary school, Krobo Girls Senior High School, same university, Central University, and even shared similar dreams and aspirations in life aside from having similar features.

The two revealed to YEN.com.gh that having an automatic best friend in a sister is a gift but it comes with annoying traits that must, unfortunately, be tolerated.

"Being twins is something wonderful but mostly annoying because you spend most of the time with your twin and means putting up with any energy they give out. One of the most irritating moments was always when we had share things equally or someone getting a bigger portion of something", Bernice said with Belinda agreeing.

Getting married on the same day was something Belinda and Bernice discussed while growing up but they did not put much thought into it until they started dating.
