"Yes, your brother is married to your wife."

Thomas's story (and this truthful response from the administration), told not without humor on Twitter by his (real) wife, would probably not have made everyone laugh.

MY GOD but the civil status of the town hall of birth of my husband made a mistake in the papers and married me with his twin brother JE M'ETOUFFE

Born in Avranches (Manche), Thomas put the ring on Stéphanie's finger last October, in Bordeaux (Gironde), tells

Sud Ouest

, but there was a hiccup.

In terms of paperwork.


While Stéphanie wanted to obtain a notarial deed of succession, she discovered last week that she was married… To her husband's twin brother!

“We realized this, because we needed our birth certificates”

"We realized this, because we needed our birth certificates to draw up our will at the notary's," she told the regional daily.

“Stephanie's comes first.

Without fail.

Then comes that of the newlywed… Without any mention of marriage, ”says

Ouest-France

.

The services of the town of Avranches had (quite simply) reported the happy event on the birth certificate of his twin brother instead of his.

A brother already in union (elsewhere).

An error which therefore canceled, for a time, on paper, the Pacs of Stephanie's brother-in-law and sister-in-law.

However, this blunder should quickly be sorted out.

The confusion between the twins related only to the digital register of civil status.

"Insofar as the paper register is good, there is nothing serious and no impact for the bride and groom", insisted on specifying the municipality of Avranches, which had to send a new birth certificate to the (true) couple these days.
