Dave O'Callaghan and Jane Hammond were born side by side on the same day, same year in the same Exeter hospital.
And they married 22 years later on the same day - to each other.
Dave, who is three hours younger than Jane, didn't actually meet his wife-to-be until they were both 18 but they got together and shared a joint 21st before marrying at Exwick Church the following year.
The couple celebrate their 60th birthdays on Monday, January 26, with a 120 family and friends at the Royal British Legion
Both Exeter born and bred, Dave has owned and run Gentry, Partner and Basement hairdresser's on Fore Street, for the last 30 years, making the business the second longest standing one on that street.
Jane works at Exeter University.
The couple, who live in St Thomas, have two daughters, Lyddi, who runs the children's charity shop, Jelly, in Paris Street, and Imogen who is a teacher at West Exe.
