Doug Malm’s wife, Jill, was having a bad day when he walked into his kitchen and attempted tocomfort her, quietly approaching, wrapping his arms around her and nibbling on her neck.
The sweet gesture backfired once Doug realized that it wasn’t his wife he was kissing at all.
Despite the fact they’d been married several years, he was accidentally affectionately cuddling his sister-in-lawJill’s twin sister Jena.
Not only does Jena live in the same house as the couple but she is also married to Doug’s twin brother Phil..
For the past 24 years, twins Doug and Phil Malm have lived in a four-bedroom home with their wives Jill and Jena and their children in Idaho.
Couples met in 1991 at the Twin Days festival the largest gathering of twins in the world at Twinsburg, Ohio.
Doug won a cruise to the Caribbean the next year; he invited Jill and Jena.
They proposed at Twin Days in 1992 and got married at Twin Days in 1993.
They still get confused about who is who, even going as far as to call out names when approaching each other.
Phil (blue shirt) and Doug (black shirt) sometimes can’t tell Jill (white shirt) and Jena (black shirt) apart.
‘Unfortunately, there are times when I cannot tell them apart so I do things like say Jena and see which one perks up. We never approach too quickly,’ Phil said
