Twins Accidentally Marry

If you haven’t heard this story yet, it really is fascinating… and not in a Maury Povich kind of way. From an article at The Independent:
Twins separated at birth and adopted into different families married each other without realising that they were related, Lord Alton has revealed. The pair, whose identity has been kept secret, […]
