This got me to thinking, what would happen if they were LDS and wanted to get married in the temple? They probably wouldn't wind up marrying two different guys since they both share their lower torso. Would there be two different sealings to the same man? Would the Church be so polygaphobic that they would be denied permission to be married or sealed? It's an interesting question to ponder. What do you think would happen?
I predict a SocialCam wedding night video, a "naïve" Dr. Peterson, and a hand-caught-in-the-cookie-jar apology.

What if one wanted to be baptized and the other one didn't?
What if one converted and wanted to married in the temple but the other one is still not a Mormon?
It can be so hard getting religion to fit into the real world.

by the way, it was announced a few years ago that one (yes, just one) of the women was engaged. Not sure if they went through with the wedding or if the engagement is off, as I can't find any information about it.

Quote of the day.
Such a conundrum... two heads, one vagina, one uterus. Surely there is something in the great revelation, the Proclamation on the Family, that covers this. Isn't it marvelous? Isn't it wonderful?

With the plural marriage option, I'll bet it would be sanctioned by both the Church and the state. They may also prefer and be able to convince two men. I'd also wager the Church and state would be fine in that case too.

It certainly is an advantage to have your own personal vagina. These girls don't have their own personal vaginas and must necessarily have sex with the other's husband. Is there a way to get around that? Meaning, in the sense that Mormonism could sanction, not in the sense that the girls have the ability to make their relationships work in whatever way they might, in the spirit of monogamy if not reality.
