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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 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.)

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

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.
