‘Interesting’: Internet curious as report claims Abby Hensel did not list her conjoined twin Brittany as wedding witness

DELANO, MINESSOTA: Abby Hensel, a conjoined twin, tied the knot with Josh Bowling in 2021. However, her twin sister, Brittany Hensel, who shares the lower part of her body with Abby, was not listed as a witness at the wedding.

Abby Hensel’s wedding details

Despite Brittany’s attendance at the wedding, her name was conspicuously absent from the witness list, according to TMZ, which obtained the marriage certificate of Abby and Josh Bowling.

The report stated that instead of Britney another sibling of Hasel named Morgan was listed as a witness. And from Josh's side, someone named Cosmo Naut is listed as a witness. 

The publication suspects Cosmo Naut could well be a pet if not a person. 

In addition to the witness list, the marriage license revealed that the ceremony took place at the Jerome Event Center in Delano, Minnesota, and was officiated by Reverend Sid A Veenstra.

The exact date of the wedding was November 13, 2021, as stated in the paperwork.

Abby, 34, chose to change her surname from Hensel to Bowling, adding another detail to the event.

Life of Abby Hensel and Brittany Hensel

Abby and Brittany first came into the public eye during a TV interview in 1996 where they shared their experiences as conjoined twins.

They further documented their lives in the 2006 documentary 'Joined for Life: Abby & Brittany Turn 16' and later starred in the 2012 TLC reality series 'Abby & Brittany.'

As conjoined twins, their bodies are fused at the pelvis with Brittany controlling the left side and Abby the right. They have many separate organs, but share their reproductive organs and other organs below the waist.

They came again under the spotlight after Today reported that one of the twins Abby was married, saying, “I do” to Bowling in 2021.
