Matchy Match

A few years ago, Trent and I were able to go on a cruise to Hawaii! We had a great time, even though I was 3 months pregnant, and still pretty nauseous! We saw these outfits and fell in love with them. Of course, everything seems like a good idea when you're on vacation right? We have never had the "opportunity" to wear them until recently. Trent's friend was having a big 30th birthday Hawaiian Luau, with a DJ, dinner and everything. Huh...I didn't know that people did cool stuff like that unless you have been married 50 years or something.

So...here is the perfect opportunity to don our Hawaiian apparel. We were feeling so festive in our outfits. As we arrived, people started making comments to us. "Cute...you guys match". "Hey, you guys are matching", "You both have the same Hawaiian print on....cool." "Where'd you find matching outfits?" And so on...and so on...and so on. It was then that I realized that I had turned into one of "those" married couples. Ya know...the ones that wear matching shirts, and outfits? The ones that I swore I would never become. How did this happen without even realizing that it is not cool to be matchy matchy? I guess 15 years of marriage clouds your "coolness"....besides...who cares anyways? As much as I love our outfits, I think we will refrain from wearing them at the same time from now on. :)

I'm sure they all thought it was "cool" that you were matching. Otherwise, you would never have heard the comments because they would have been whispered behind your back.

You must be getting old, girl. What happened to the Kristi who has fun without worrying about what the weirdos think? :)

I have NEVER been that brave.

I think it's cute and those people were insanely jealous :-)

You not only match each other, but it appears that you match the paint on your wall, too! You are oozing with coolness! Hahaha...

Great pic, too. We can go years without taking any pictures of the two of us. It's nice to document the fact that you're still married now and again!

Only you two came make the ultimate in geekiness look cool. If Nathan & I dressed like that, we would look like Santa Claus got beat up with a giant azalea. But you guys look awesome!

Now I want to see the pictures of you out there boogying on the dance floor.

Latisha said...

LOVE IT!! Be proud to be one of "those couples"!! Y'all are great!

Miss Hope said...

I think you both look great!

Trina said...

At least your cute red spa painted toe nails match. Hopefully it hadn't all worn off.

ROFL I agree with Arlyn ... I think you guys looked cute and I bet the people at the party did too :)

I am laughing so hard! You DO look cool and I think people were jealous that you had the guts to cross into the "matching couple zone." Only the strong can go there and return unscathed and return to unmatching clothes again. How awesome that you had the perfect opportunity and event to show you coolness!
