Matching

When Ben and I first got married, and we accidentally wore clothes that coordinated, I would say (sarcastic font) oh, how cuuuuuute! We're maaaaatching!

Tonight at the ward Christmas party, I insisted that we all wear coordinating colors of bright red and lime green - in some form. My and Eva's dresses were red, she had lime green leg warmers, I had a scarf thingy. Clark's shirt was striped lime green and Ben wore his olivey-limey sweater. He protested, but I asked him to not teach our kids how to talk back to me.

The point is, it used to be a joke. Now I fear I'm about a decade away from this.

mwahaha! once you start coordinating your halloween costumes it's a slippery slope to all bright yellow tshirts at disneyland



verification word: whicap, the lid that comes on whipped topping cans.

I saw this picture on a "crafty gone wrong" blog and I think it's freaking hilarious!

Sal hates to do the matching thing. Especially if we're dressing up...

I like lime green and red.

"When you first got married", huh? Was there a rerun of this moment at some point.
I agree with previous comments that I want to see these matching pics of YOURS.
I like Matching, but I am 100% positive Richard would never agree. Actually, i take that back, because I did get him to match for family pictures. But, never sunflowers. Never

It's important to match. In the event of an emergency, you can locate those most important to you in a jiffy. Um, I hope you're posting a pic of said matchiness soon.

Where do you find these gems? I swear you have a special link to all ridiculous photos. I think the little blonde girl knows they look ridiculous.

Pretty sure I owned that exact dress. And so did my mom. We were big fans of matching floral prints. Not a good idea.

That's so funny. we would match, I mean coordinate all the time and I would say "thats all we have, we dont have children." except now that we have Reags we MUST always coordinate. I feel bad if people have to look at us clashing, that's not nice.
