Man Marries Triplets in a Colorful Ceremony After Unknowingly Dating All of Them

A Congolese man has hit media headlines after he married three sisters, who happen to be triplets.

The 32-year-old man identified only as Luwizo tied the knot with the three sisters in a colorful ceremony held late last month.

Luwizo of Kalehe in South Kivu, the Democratic Republic of Congo says he fell in love with one of the triplets named Natalie after meeting her on Facebook. 

After chatting for a while, the two then arranged a physical meeting at the girl’s home, where he met her sisters Nadege and Natasha, who soon fell in love with him but they did not make their feelings known. From there on, Luwizo would be welcomed by one of the triplets whenever he visited Natalie’s home.

The man says she was shocked to meet three identical women during the final meeting at their home to formalize his union with Natalie.

"I almost fainted. I asked them amongst all of you, who is Natalie? They told me I had met all of them on different days I visited,” Luwizo told Afrimax English.

“I became confused as I had planned to marry Natalie but what confused me was that I couldn't marry one of the girls and leave the two behind!"

The triplets said they were comfortable marrying Luwizo because they have been close-knit since childhood.

"At first, when we told him he had to marry all of us he was shocked. But because he had already fallen in love with all of us, nothing couldn't stop our plans since we were also in love with him,” Natalie was quoted as saying.

“Even though people consider it impossible for three women to share one husband, but to us, sharing everything has been our life since childhood."

Luwizo’s parents were unhappy with his decision to marry the sisters and did not attend the wedding celebrations.

“You have to lose something in order to gain another. In addition, one has their preferences and their own way of doing things,” Luwizo said of his parents’ decision to skip his big day. He added: “I’m happy to marry the triplets no matter what others think…. Love has no limits.”

The triplets said they feared their future husbands would separate them, terming their marriage to Luwizo a “dream come true.”

“Our dream came through. We thought we would be separated by marriage, but God heard prayers,” said Natalie.
