In a unique Oregon story, identical twins Venessa and Kerissa found love in unexpected places – with their twin brothers. Initially hesitant due to perceived strangeness and different preferences, fate intervened when Venessa, a personal trainer, was introduced to fraternal twins Lucas and Jacob Silby. Despite initial reservations, Venessa and Kerissa each found themselves attracted to one of the Silby brothers, leading to two separate love stories and eventual marriages in 2022 and 2023.
