This identical twin story will blow your mind

Identical twin sisters who married identical twin brothers gave birth to sons that are brothers and cousins at the same time.

Briana and Brittany Deane, 25, from Virginia in the US, tied the knot with Jeremy and Josh Salyer before falling pregnant around the same time last year.

Brittany gave birth to Jett, who turned one in January, while Briana had Jax, who celebrated his first birthday a few months later in April.
