BROTHERS’ RESEMBLANCE
TWINS MARRY SISTERS. When two sisters married twin brothers at the Woodseats Roman Catholic Church, Sheffield, a few weeks ago, few present except the brides knew which bridegroom was which. All their lives tho brothers, Mr. George and Mr. James Simmerson, have frequently been mistaken for one another. They were both dressed alike for the wedding, and each had an exactly similar white carnation buttonhole. The brides, the Misses Nancy and Marjorie Wilson, wero also dressed exactly' alike, and each had two bridesmaids whose frocks were identical. They were given away by two brothers —their uncles. Nancy' married Janies and Marjorie married George. The priest who performed the ceremonies turned first to look at one brother and say, “Now, are you Jim?” and then to the other, “And you are George?” The ceremony was concluded without mishap.
