“I do, I do, I do” Identical triplets marry on the same day (photos)

Guests at a wedding
service saw triple when three identical sisters tied the knot together
at the same ceremony, DailyMail reports.

Triplets
Rafaela, Rochele and Tagiane Bini share the same birthday, the same
looks and tastes, and now – after marrying men who look strikingly
similar – the same wedding anniversary too.

The
29-year-old sisters, from Passo Fundo, southern Brazil, even wore the
same wedding dress, as well as hair style and make up, for their big day
on Saturday.

A different colour of bouquet was the only clue to help bewildered friends and family distinguish one bride from the other.

Even
the grooms – Rafael, Gabriel and Eduardo – admitted they had worried
they might mix up their wives-to-be when it came to exchanging vows.

Rafael, who married Rafaela, told how the girls sometimes deliberately confused their fiances.

He
remembered: ‘There was a time when we were all in the kitchen making
dinner. So Rochele, who is Gabriel’s, was doing stuff at the sink, and
Rafaela was at the stove.

‘We
were there chatting and they changed places. I went behind to hug her,
and said “oops” when I realised I’d got the wrong girl.’

On the day, though, the men insisted they didn’t have a problem recognising the loves of their lives.

‘Oh
yes, I knew which one was mine, for sure. I knew as soon as she entered
the church, she was the most beautiful,’ said Eduardo, who married
Tagiane.

The sisters told
how, like other identical siblings, they have always been close and
shared the same tastes and interests since they were babies.

Their
parents, Pedro and Salete, already had one daughter, Liziele, when they
decided to increase the family – but never imagined three more girls
would come at once.

Mother Salete fainted when she was told she was expecting triplets, according to the girls.

Rafaela
was the first to find her future husband, Rafael, ten years ago while
studying at university. A year later, Rochele got together with Gabriel.

It was parents Pedro and Salete who suggested the girls all get married together after Tagiane also got engaged to Eduardo.

The only dilemma for Pedro, a farmer, was how he would walk all three daughters down the aisle at once.

He
said: ‘We decided that we would all walk down the aisle until half way
down the church. From there, I would take one at a time.’

The
pews at the Nossa Senhora Aparecida catholic cathedral in Passo Fundo
were moved apart to allow more space for the three brides to walk down
the aisle together.

They
were followed by 18 bridesmaids and page boys, each using the chosen
colour of the bride they were representing, yellow for Rafaela, blue for
Rochele and red for Tagiane.

The
first to be taken to the altar by their father was Tagiane, who was the
first to be born. She remembered: ‘I tried to hold back my emotion, but
I couldn’t. To see my dad there, at that moment, was a feeling I can’t
explain.’

The girls explained how they all went together to get their hair and make-up done with the intention of looking different. 

But,
said Rochele, ‘We tried a number of styles, but we all liked the same
one. It’s not even worth trying, it always ends up like that.’

After
the ceremony, the fact that there were three bouquets to be caught was
not lost on the female guests, according to the sisters.

And for Eduardo, the fact that triplets run in their wives family hasn’t put the husbands off.

He
said: ‘We’re going to think about starting our family. If we have
triplets, it won’t be easy, but they will be a blessing and we’ll raise
them with love.’
