Back in March, a man named Luwizo in Congo went viral on social media after marrying three sisters on the same day, according to the Nigerian newspaper Premium Times.
The 32-year-old groom, a resident of Karen, in South Kivu, married three identical triplets named Natalie, Nadege and Natasha.
“I fell in love with a girl called Natalie,” Luwizo said. “We met on social media. She was wonderful. I couldn’t resist her beauty, and after some time, we decided to meet. It wasn’t that easy because I was on a working trip.”
After he met Natalie, she introduced him to her sisters, Nadege and Natasha, and they also fell in love with Luwizo.
“As Luwizo came by, we passed him on to one another, but he wasn’t able to differentiate us. So we all ended up falling in love with him. At first, it was a puzzle, but nothing else could stop us because he was already in love with us,” the sisters said.
