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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I overheard my mom talking on the phone with my sister about how much they hate my fiancé. My wedding is in two weeks and my family has been pretending to like my future husband for three years. FML
Today, I saw my girlfriend at the store and joyfully greeted her. She got really mad at me - it was her identical twin sister, who I still cannot tell apart from my girlfriend. We've been dating for three years. FML
Today, my sister looked prettier in her bridesmaid's dress than I did in my wedding dress. I love her to bits, but she won the genetic lottery out of the two of us, so even on my wedding day I feel inferior. FML
Today, marks the sixth day in a row that my mum has called me to discuss my upcoming wedding. She's obsessed and has intimidated the actual planner I hired into going along with her plans. She's slipped up twice already and accidentally referred to it as her own wedding. Just great. FML
Today, I found out that my fiancé's sister, who only got engaged a couple of months ago, is getting married before us. I wouldn't have a problem with this if she wasn't planning her wedding to be exactly like ours will be. FML
Today, I went to pick up my wedding dress from the seamstress, only to find out that my fiancé called two weeks ago to say I wanted the dress "tie-dyed to match our new theme." She believed him. Our wedding is tomorrow. FML
Today, I'm being forced to keep an eye on my cousin, who is getting married in the morning. He’s tried to marry his fiancé before and chickened out at the altar. For some reason she forgave him and now the bride's mother has made it my job to watch him like a hawk until after the "I Do-s", or else. FML
Today, I found my sister's wedding book. Inside it was a list of potential grooms; she'd written down all of my ex-boyfriends. And my fiancé. We're getting married in three weeks. FML
Today, it's three days until I get married, and I can’t help but be nervous. Why? I wish I knew. I’m not scared of commitment, I’m happy to spend my life with him, so why the sudden panic? FML
Today, my sister announced that she just got engaged… right as I was in the midst of giving birth to my twin daughters. The thing is, she's not actually engaged. In fact, she's single. She just couldn't stand that I was "upstaging" her and "had to think of something fast." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If you're marrying her, you should have known her long enough to be able to tell them apart. Identical doesn't mean that they're the same down to the last freckle, and certainly they will have different personalities. If you haven't taken the time to get to know her, maybe you shouldn't be getting married at all. Just saying.

You do know that twins can do a spectacular job of mimicking each other's behavior, right?

I agree with 102 after all they have known each other longer

if he doesn't see her sister often enough, he wouldn't see the differences.

So, when you end up sleeping with the wrong twin, neither of them can get mad at you because maybe they shouldn't have taken to tricking you so much, right?

So you didn't think to make sure you could tell your fiancee apart from her twin before you went through all the wedding hullabaloo? Anyway you can convince your fiancee to get matching tattoos? Normally, they're something many couples regret, but if you can convince her to get one in a place that's sometimes exposed and sometimes covered (like the leg or upper arm), perhaps that will help. Unless her impish sister gets the same tattoo in the same spot. Then you're screwed.

i dont think they should trick you like that all the time. its going to cause to be wary and untrusting of them which isnt good in a relationship. best of luck to you op on marrying the right twin!

I feel you. My boyfriend is an identical twin. It was impossible until my boyfriend broke his nose now he has a bump that distinguishes them

quit giving OP ideas...

Have you considered the possibility that they both want you but don't know how to seriously suggest it to you without you jumping to the "hooray! twins threesome!" line of thought, or explain it to their parents and friends? Trust me. There is never an easy way to breach that subject with a typical person.

If the sister moves in they could live happily ever after. So long as op never tried too hard to figure out when he was being tricked.

That's awful for you OP! But don't worry about it, I'm sure they won't take the joke as far as letting you marry the wrong one. Even if they joked about it with you, your fiance would only be offending herself.

Just to add, the 3some comment is An option if the twins and the dude are cool with it. FYI to those that wonder, the twins and 'the groom' can have a 3-some without the twins ever touching. Or at least touching in any 'sexual' way.

People have no imagination if they think they must touch. I see people saying that all of the time, and I just laugh.

Play along. Sounds like it might be fun.
