The world's only 'married' lesbian threesome are expecting their first child.
Doll,
Kitten and Brynn, from Massachusetts, were joined together in a
marriage-style ceremony last August and are expecting a daughter in
July.
Kitten, 27, is pregnant after undergoing IVF treatment using an anonymous sperm donor, and the trio eventually plan to have three children - one for each of them.
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.
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.
