Canarsie couple Elliot and Hunny Reiken have been married for 61 years. The couple met in the Catskill Mountains when Elliot and his twin brother Danny were performing at a hotel where Hunny and her twin sister Bunny were waitresses. The two couples married in a double wedding and formed the singing group, the Twintones.

Awesome post.Really looking forward to read more. Keep writing.
Great video. My mom used to play string quartets with your brother Dan back in the 70s. Are Dan and Bunny doing well?
Warm regards, Scott
The twins were cousins of my father Seymour Sobelman. I have the Twin Tones photo in my family album. I remembered hearing stories about the twins when I was growing up and met them accidentally about 15 years ago at a Kingsborough Community College dance.
I also had identical twin uncles.
Great story – glad to know they are well and happy.
