Today, it's five days until my wedding and I still can't tell my bride apart from her twin sister. They share clothes, have the same haircut, and they even take turns flirting with me to "catch me off guard" because they think it's hilarious to trick me. I'm scared I'll marry the wrong one. FML

If each of the sisters had a baby from you at the same time, would the babies look like twins? Haha. Just curious.

Do you understand how genetics work?

130- to be honest, not really. if both the "mothers" look the same and the hypothetical children have the same father, why wouldn't the children look the same?

It is possible, but highly unlikely. Even if the mothers look the same and have similar DNA, the fathers sperm is a variable and each sperm will have slight differences based on recessive or dominate traits and then differences between boys and girls.

228, thank you for explaining this to me in a polite manner.

Because genetics are a mix. Some kids look like one parent, and some look like the other. Sometimes they look a bit like both. Or neither - they look more like some other relative. At a very simple level, one could look like dad and one could look like its mother and so no, they would not like alike at all. Even if both kids looked "like" their mothers, they'd still be different enough. (And of course, on top of all of that, there's only a ~50% chance they'd be the same gender to begin with.)

#270, thank you for explaining this to me.

if that were the case then all siblings of the same two parents would look the same.

Knock her sister up. Then you should be able to tell them apart.

So it won't be your fault if you sleep with the wrong one then

put a drop of nail polish on her back

Don't be childish OP, just tell your fiancée and her sister that the constant teasing and switching makes you uncomfortable. It's fine as a joke every now and then but not all of the time.

I understand that they are twins but don't you realize what woman you're going to marry? Haven't you been with her long enough to know which girl is which? That's a problem. Totally not cool.

Ive known a set of twins for 3 years, they are not identical but they are similar, I can't tell who is who. If they have the same style and share clothes AND are identical it would be even harder. Especially if they are intentionally acting like each other.

The word today made this one funny Anyway...I don't think they will trick you that badly...
