One of a few sets of dicephalous twins
The reality TV stars are one of only a few sets of dicephalus twins in history to survive infancy. They rose to fame 28 years ago after an interview with Oprah.
Abby's relationship with Josh, a father-of-one, was hidden from the public as the twins had chosen to live a quiet life a quiet life.
'People have been curious about us since we were born, for obvious reasons; But our parents never let us use that as an excuse. We were raised to believe we could do anything we wanted to do," they said.
In 2001, the twins' father, Mike, said his daughters had asked about finding husbands one day.
A video thought to have been captured by one of their guests and shared on social media showed the twins and the groom enjoying a dance during the big day.
In another photo, Josh's daughter walked down the aisle, holding a sign that read: 'Daddy... Here Comes Your Bride'.
The pair share reproductive organs
Now, the two have their sights on having a baby with Josh. Although the pair can write, eat and complete tasks separately, they share all their organs, including the intestine, bladder and reproductive organs.

Abby said: "Yeah, we are going to be moms one day, but we don't want to talk about how it's going to work yet."
