Conjoined twin Carmen Andrade elopes with boyfriend of four years
Conjoined twin Carmen Andrade has eloped with her boyfriend of four years. She has revealed she married Daniel McCormack in front of their families on Lover's Leap Bridge in New Milford, Connecticut. Carmen - who is a conjoined twin with sister Lupita Andrade - 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 said. '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. '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 pair met on dating app Hinge in 2020. The newlyweds are now 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 they have often been inappropriately 'fetishized' over the idea that someone is 'having sex with two people at once.' The Mexico-born twins, who have lived in Connecticut since they were two years old, are attached along their chest walls down to their pelvis, where their spines meet. 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. They were told 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.

Conjoined twin influencer Carmen Andrade reveals she quietly married boyfriend Daniel McCormack
New marriage alert! Carmen Andrade, known for her viral videos about life as a conjoined twin, revealed that she quietly married her longtime boyfriend, Daniel McCormack, during an intimate ceremony in Connecticut. 'We eloped in October with our families,' Carmen told TODAY on Thursday. The couple confessed that they had a small ceremony on the historic Lover's Leap Bridge over the Housatonic River in New Milford, Connecticut. Carmen, the right-sided conjoined twin of her sister Lupita, doesn't 'regret' wearing a formal emerald green dress with sparkly sequins for the nuptials, which occurred in the same month of their fifth anniversary. 'I did not wear white,' Carmen said. 'Don't regret it. I don't like white. That's not my thing.' Mr McCormack, 28, wore a dark suit, an emerald green bow tie and a sunflower boutonniere to match Carmen's colourful bouquet. Carmen also shared her life update last month in a YouTube video titled, 'Overdue Update!' 'We should probably also address something else pretty big,' Carmen shared at the end of the YouTube video. 'I did get married.' Carmen flashed her left hand, which featured a wedding ring, at the camera. 'I did not,' Lupita immediately quipped afterwards. The influencer joked that her husband only married her, not Lupita, who identifies as asexual and aromantic. 'I don't want to get married,' Lupita explained during the announcement video. The couple met on the dating app Hinge in October 2020 after she received 'a lot of messages from guys with fetishes'. 'I knew right off the bat that Daniel was different from the others, because he didn't lead with a question about my condition,' she told the outlet. 'I have social anxiety, and I've ended up cancelling dates at the last minute, but I felt calm on the way there.' Carmen said they were not sexually intimate with each other and have a bond that's more of a 'close friendship', according to a 2022 interview with Jubilee. The 23-year-old twins, who were born in Mexico but grew up in Connecticut, share a pelvis, a reproductive system, a liver and a bloodstream. The sisters do not have the same heart or stomach, despite sharing other parts of their digestive system, per their Jubilee interview. Each twin controls one leg, which took '17 years' to learn how to co-ordinate. The sisters appeared on the TLC show, Conjoined Twins: Inseparable, which aired in 2020. The episode followed the young twins' fight for their independence as they prepared for college. In the YouTube video, Carmen shared that she is no longer pursuing a career as a veterinary technician and will not be 'getting a degree'. The conjoined twins said they plan to focus on their YouTube channel, including posting sketches that Lupita writes.
