Here are my Michael and me at Halloween 1997. At this point, we were engaged to we be wed in two short months. I don't remember whose idea it was to coordinate costumes or how we came up with the toothpaste/toothbrush theme. I do remember that I worked on mine and he did his all on his own (last time that happened).
I bought a snazzy white polyester jumpsuit at the local thrift shop--Deseret Industries--and did some old-fashioned cut and paste with construction paper to make my label. My roommate's bedside lamp had the cutest little shade that was the exact shape of the lid of a tube of toothpaste so I popped that thing on my head and called myself Crest. (Like my fancy glass of my roommate's Kool-Aid Halloween Punch?)
Michael used poster board to fashion his bristles and secure them as a head dress. We agreed that his blue jeans and blue t-shirt made him a respectable toothbrush handle.
And so there you have it: the Halloween that started all the coordinating costume craziness.

I love it!
who is that child on the left?? :) that's so sweet, a tradition born in engagementland.
(my verification word is "unbride" - hmmmmm... strange coincidence...)
So great! I am so happy you did this post! :)Love your enthusiasm and what a great tradition.
That is so awesome. I wish that I had half the ambitions that you have! These posts are very inspiring, although I will never be able to accomplish anything of the sheer magnitude that you do every Halloween! Good work!
Can't wait to see what this years costumes are!
What a sweet Halloween remembrance and picture! I too am waiting most anxiously to see what you guys were this year!!
So awesome!
. . . so . . . how about this year? I'm dying to see!
I really think I am losing my mind! Was I there? I vaguely remember having a Halloween party in that apartment, but I have no idea what I went as! You guys looked so cute!
Nice! So like a man to make a hat and call it a costume. :)
