It is rare for two sisters to marry into the same family. Therefore, their marriage and the relationships surrounding them often make many people curious.
Kim Dong (left photo) and Kim Ngan (right photo) are two sisters. Long Gil (left photo) and Long Xuyen (right photo) are two brothers.
Sisters Vo Thi Kim Ngan (born 1996) and Vo Thi Kim Dong (born 2005), from Long My district, Hau Giang province, are used to seeing people's surprised faces when they learn they are marrying two siblings and becoming daughters-in-law in the same family.
Kim Ngan's husband is Nguyen Long Xuyen (born in 1992), and Kim Dong's husband is Nguyen Long Gil (born in 1995). Long Xuyen and Long Gil are two brothers, from Soc Trang province.
Kim Dong said that her parents had 8 children, including 5 boys and 3 girls. Her older sister Kim Ngan was the fourth daughter, often called "Tu", and Kim Dong was the seventh daughter, often called "Bay".
In 2014, Kim Ngan followed her parents to the market to do business. Coincidentally, Long Xuyen's parents also did business here. Seeing that the young girl was pretty and hard-working, Long Xuyen's parents wanted to marry her.
The two sets of parents met as if they had known each other for a long time, chatting happily and even asking for each other's home addresses.

“My parents and Tu’s family thought they were just joking, they really came to our house. Both sets of parents were good-natured matchmakers for their children, and they were obedient. In the end, my brother and sister got married after only 1 month of dating,” Kim Dong recounted.
Kim Ngan and Long Xuyen's marriage was very good. Ngan was well-liked by her husband's parents, and Xuyen was very pleased with his wife's parents. The two sides had never had any major conflicts.
The two in-laws' houses were 5km apart. Since her sister moved to Soc Trang to get married, Kim Dong often visited her sister's house. She was very familiar with her sister's husband's family.
“In 2021, when I turned 16, the other family once again offered to match me with their youngest son, Long Gil. My husband’s parents said, my older sister had already gone there to be a daughter-in-law, now I would be a daughter-in-law too, so we would be even closer. There is nothing better than that.”
Long Gil already had feelings for Kim Dong. Since his parents started talking to him, he became more courageous. Every morning, Long Gil was at Kim Dong's house to pick her up and drop her off at work.

Kim Dong admitted that at first she did not like her sister's brother-in-law. But with the influence of her sister and both sides, she opened her heart.
“My feelings are like a steady rain that wears away stone. Gil’s sincere feelings moved me. Moreover, after many years of witnessing my sister being loved by her husband and his family, I have more faith in this relationship.”
In June 2023, Kim Dong and Long Gil got married. She and her biological sister officially became brides in the same family.
Family affection
Kim Dong and Long Gil’s wedding went smoothly, as both families were already familiar with each other. Relatives and neighbors from both sides were surprised by this special relationship.
Kim Dong's small family
Four years ago, Kim Ngan and her husband built their own house. Following her sister-in-law, Kim Dong now lives with her husband's parents.
“Being married into the same family as my sister, I feel much more secure. On the first day I arrived at my husband’s house, I felt familiar, not at all awkward or shy like other brides. Up to now, I consider my husband’s house as my own,” Kim Dong said.
In Kim Dong's house, conflicts between sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law never happened. Their love for each other made them willing to forgive each other for everything. Kim Dong and Kim Ngan confided in each other and shared everything.
“Wherever we go, we go together, bringing our two husbands along. The happiest times are when we go to our parents’ house, the two couples bring their children back and the whole family gathers and eats happily. Even when we travel , we go together,” Kim Dong shared.
Kim Dong and her sister were loved very much by their parents-in-law. Dong had heard her father-in-law say many times: “You two are daughters-in-law, but your parents love you like their own daughters.”

Kim Dong's parents-in-law only had two sons, Long Xuyen and Long Gil, so when they married two good daughters-in-law, they loved them even more.
“My parents married two daughters, but they only had one in-law, so they were very close. Whenever the two families had free time, they would meet up to eat and drink. Nothing bad had ever happened between the two families,” Kim Dong said.
Kim Ngan and Long Xuyen have two children, a 10-year-old daughter and a 7-year-old son. Kim Dong and Long Gil have a 1-year-old son. There is no difficulty in addressing each other.
“My fourth sister’s child calls me ‘Aunt Bay’ and my husband ‘Uncle Gil’. When my child can talk, he will call my fourth sister ‘Aunt Tu’ and Xuyen ‘Uncle Hai’. The whole family is happy with this way of addressing each other,” Kim Dong said.
Kim Dong strongly believes in the strong bond between the two families. To her, this is a special relationship that she cherishes very much.
