Oddly enough, there was a Mormon girl in New Zealand that I went out with for a bit - we had the same birthdays.
And then came the day when our parents decided to have a big ol' party/double family reunion at her folk's estate (without telling us that the other family would also be going) for our birthdays. Our families were fairly close so it made sense, but then the party happened, at which point my grandfather looked at some of her folks and called her over:
"So, shrub, your great-granddad wouldn't happen to be XYZ by any chance?"
She confirms this with her dad. I'm a bit worried (Nobody was supposed to know we were going out since her mother was super anal) but a little sauced so I'm okay. She asks how granddad knows, his reply?
"He's my cousin."
It took a second for the penny to drop, but I think we both realised we'd been committing crimes of the webbed-feet-and-skull-bossing variety for the past 6 months at the same time.
We split up a short while later, not entirely because of that but it did have an impact.
it's a dream but its golden if couples ended up having matching birthdays, even i wanted that happen to me one day
I remember my grandmother absolutely LOATHED the fact that she was born on Dec 26th. She always begrudged it the feeling that her birthday was some sort of afterthought to Christmas.
My sister-in-law, meanwhile, has a birthday a week apart from her sister's, and they have a cousin who's a day after my sister-in-law. They all have to share the same birthday, although they're a bit more chill about not having a day of their own.

To be fair, we're ALL cousins if you go back far enough in the family tree. Fourth/fifth cousins are, from a genetic standpoint, far enough apart that you start to reach the point where you'll have more genes in common with some random strangers than them.
