Identical twin seniors taking twin prom dates
JAMESTOWN, N.D. — A pair of identical North Dakota twin sisters are hoping to double their fun at their high school prom.
Adrian and Hannah Mcinnes asked identical twins Josh and Jerimiah Dockter to be their dates for Saturday's formal dance at Jamestown High School.
The pairs met at the grocery store where they all work. The girls say they thought it would be cool to double date with another set of identical twins.
The Dockter brothers, who graduated in 2009 and skipped their prom, said yes.
But don't expect the girls to wear matching dresses to go with their matching dates. Adrian and Jerimiah
will wear white, while Hannah and Josh will go in black.

Felicetti is being held on $130,000 bail.
