The plan at the moment is that Kitten will bear all the
children - possibly using her wives' eggs and donated sperm - but they are open
to other options, such as adoption.
Brynn, 34, says: 'the hope is to have three kids altogether.
We always joke that the children should never outnumber the parents.'
Doll, Kitten and Brynn Young married in a ceremony in August
2013, when each of their fathers walked them down the aisle. All three women
wore white wedding gowns and exchanged rings.
The so-called 'throuple' worked with a specialist family
lawyer who drew up the paperwork and drafted the ceremony so that all three of
them were obligated and bound to each other.
While Brynn and Kitten are legally married, Doll is
handfasted to both so the threesome are as equally married to each other as
legally possible.
Doll, 30, says: 'As far as we know, there aren't any other
three women who are married like us.'
It was back in 2009 that Brynn first met Doll through an
online dating site. Senior Software Designer and Engineer, Brynn had been
married twice before to women and both experiences had made her acknowledge
that monogamous relationships weren't for her.
Meanwhile Fashion Designer, Doll had known that she was
polygamous since high school. She explains: 'I had always dated girls - who
although they had boyfriends or girlfriends - were also allowed to date me.
'I never thought that much about it and I had never really
'come out' as poly to my friends and family. To me, it was just how I was.'
Brynn and Doll dated for eight months before moving in
together. Two years later, they purchased a house together.
Having both enjoyed polygamous relationships before, Doll
and Brynn looked for a third woman to join them. After a few failed liaisons,
Doll and Brynn created an OKCupid couple's profile. Eventually, they received a
message from Kitten.
Before meeting Doll and Brynn, Kitten had been in two
long-term relationships with men. Her first relationship lasted ten years and
she had been engaged to her second boyfriend.
Fashion Manager, Kitten says: 'My second boyfriend and I had
been together for several years but a few months before our wedding, he called
the whole thing off without explanation. At first, I was distraught but now,
I'm grateful for what he did.
'The whole break-up forced me to really think about who I
was and I realised that I had not been honest to myself. On reflection, I
realised that I hadn't been happy in my previous monogamous relationships and I
discovered that I was poly.
'I set up an OKCupid profile for myself and began dating an
awesome woman with the happy consent of her husband. They were a lovely couple
but we ended the relationship after I had to move away.
'Soon after that amicable break-up, I came across Doll's and
Kitten's OKCupid profile and saw they were looking for a third member to join
their 'Super Hero Group'.'
Doll, Brynn and Kitten went for dinner at a Chinese
Restaurant for their first date and immediately liked each other.
Doll says: 'There was an instant attraction with Kitten but
I think we all really bonded when we baked cookies together on our fourth date.
I didn't know what love was until the three of us clicked like that.'
Brynn adds: 'With Doll and Kitten, things finally made
sense. It was as if the puzzle was finally complete with all three pieces.'
Within a few months, Kitten moved in with Doll and Brynn.
Two years later, they decided to get married after Kitten proposed the idea to
them.
Kitten says: 'I had always wanted to get married and I guess
Doll and Brynn indulged my wishes! I had a very traditional upbringing and
marriage had always been an important symbol of commitment for me. We wanted to
celebrate our love in a wedding like everyone else.'
The threesome insist their relationship is like that of any
normal couple: having breakfast with one another, watching TV after work and
sharing a bed together
Doll says: 'The only difference is that communication is a
lot more difficult for us than others. There are three people so our
relationship takes detailed scheduling - everything we do goes on the calendar!
'Whilst communication is tricky, household chores are a lot
easier with three people! You can slack off on your errands and another person
can pick them up.'
Brynn adds: 'Each of us has our own allocated chores and
roles - I like to think of us a romantic committee. In our relationship, I'm
the traditional breadwinner. I work a forty hour week and make the majority of
the family's income.
'Doll does the cooking and Kitten does the cleaning.
Sometimes, Kitten also helps me with my hair and make-up before I go to work.'
The threesome spent several date nights planning their dream
wedding - making decorations and shopping for matching traditional, white
gowns.
Brynn says: 'Planning our wedding was hectic. It took a lot
more organizing because there were three brides involved.
Kitten, Brynn and Doll had to work with the legalities of
the state to get married to each other. As being married to more than one
person is not currently legal, they had to combine handfasting, legally binding
documents and legal marriage.
A family lawyer drew up paperwork - in terms of assets,
wills and legal rights to children - to bind them all together as much as they
could without an actual three way marriage.
