At a wedding on Vancouver Island this summer, guests found it difficult to tell the bride, Felicia Harding, apart from her friend Brittany Delaney, despite their distinct white dress. Both petite women with brown curly hair, bangs, and wide smiles caused confusion among attendees, including Felicia’s own husband, who mistook Brittany for the bride multiple times.
The striking resemblance between the two women, who met due to their look-alike features, has been a recurring theme in their friendship. Delaney, who owns Confections Cake Company in St. Albert, and Harding, a musician in Victoria, bonded over their similar appearances after a social media post highlighted their doppelganger status six years ago.
Their friendship grew through online conversations until they finally met in person during Harding’s trip to Edmonton. Delaney’s son, Atlas, was intrigued by the uncanny resemblance and even mistook Harding for his mom in pictures and videos. Beyond physical similarities, the women discovered shared West Coast roots and entrepreneurial spirits, further solidifying their bond.
Their close relationship led them to take a DNA test to explore any familial connection, but the results revealed no genetic relation. Despite the lack of shared ancestry, their friendship remains strong as they continue to uncover more about their uncanny similarities through further testing with relatives.
The constant surprises of seeing their mirror image in each other continue to amaze both Delaney and Harding, emphasizing the unique and enduring bond they share.
