Conjoined twin Carmen Andrade has quietly married her boyfriend of four years after meeting on dating app Hinge.
Carmen – who is a conjoined twin with sister Lupita Andrade – recently told Today that she married Daniel McCormack back in October in front of their families.
The couple, who met on Hinge in 2020, ‘eloped’ and got married on Lover’s Leap Bridge in New Milford, Connecticut.
The duo, along with Lupita, had previously announced the news quietly at the end of a YouTube video titled Overdue Update!
‘We should probably also address something else pretty big,’ Carmen said in the clip, ‘I did get married.’
The bride, 25, then flashed her wedding ring and laughed when Daniel came into view, proclaiming: ‘I got an upgrade. I’m the husband now.’
Daniel, 28, explained that the wedding was a ‘small get-together’ with ‘local family’ only – rather than extending the invite wider.
‘I don’t like those weddings where they invite like the third cousin twice removed,’ he shared.

‘I’m sorry, but great uncle Patrick, whom I haven’t seen since I was three, you’re not worth a f***ing seat at my table, I’m sorry.’
Carmen added: ”It was very pretty. It was in autumn, which made it even prettier.’
The content creator then shed some insight about her wedding dress – which she wore alongside her sister.
‘I did not wear white. Don’t regret it. I don’t like white. Not my thing,’ she explained.
The twin instead decided to wear a long, sparkling emerald gown on her special day.
Pictures flashed on the screen as they chatted about the wedding, showing the couple side by side at their outdoor venue.
Daniel was dressed in a classic tuxedo and a dark green bowtie to match his bride’s shimmering gown.
Carmen also made sure to clarify who actually got married in October.

They have two arms, but only a single leg each, with Carmen controlling the right leg and Lupita, the left. The sisters were only expected to survive for three days after they were born in 2001
‘Before anybody gets it twisted: We got married,’ Carmen said, pointing to herself and Daniel.
‘But we did not get married,’ she added, then including her conjoined sister.
The newlyweds are currently trying to win America’s Favorite Couple contest, for which they are in ninth place.
Lupita identifies as asexual and said: ‘I don’t want to get married… because I don’t want to.’
Before meeting Daniel, Carmen said dating was a ‘learning process for everybody.’
The sisters previously claimed that they have often been inappropriately ‘fetishized’ over the idea that someone is ‘having sex with two people at once.’

The sisters were only expected to survive for three days after they were born in 2001.
They have been told that their separation could result in their death or years of intensive care, so they chose to stay together and have expertly adapted to living life with one another.
Both women don’t see themselves as disabled either – after admitting that it is only ‘a disability if you make it a disability.’
When Lupita and Carmen were young, they spent years in physical therapy learning how to sit up and work together to use their legs, and when they were four years old, they took their first steps together.
