29 year old triplets, Rafaela, Rochele
and Tagiane Bini from Passo Fundo, southern Brazil, tied the knot same
day at the same ceremony, wore the
same wedding dress, as well as hair style and make up and confused not
just their guests but also their grooms who also looked strikingly
similar.
The only way guests could distinguish
one bride from the other at the ceremony on Saturday was the different
colour of bouquet they carried. Even
the grooms - Rafael, Gabriel & Eduardo, said they had worried
they might mix up their wives-to-be when it came to exchanging vows. One
of the grooms, Rafael, who married Rafaela, told how the girls
sometimes deliberately confused their fiances.
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.'
