I’m Marrying Michael Phelps

August 23rd, 2008 @ 5:01 pm by Mrs. Coconut

Just kidding! I know, that’s a torturous joke, isn’t it?! Everyone in the world wants to marry Michael Phelps right now, and I promise I’m not the one taking him off the market. Actually, I have something much better: Mr. Coconut, a Michael Phelps look-alike without the hectic training schedule or the 12,000 calorie a day diet. Because, let’s be honest, I think I’d be one plump Asian if that were the case!

As the Summer Olympics come to a close, I just wanted to have my own closing ceremony. For the last month, I have been barraged with e-mails and text messages from my friends and family claiming that Mr. Coconut is in fact in Beijing breaking every world record in swimming. In fact, Mr. Coconut is with me, researching point-to-point communications for his Ph.D.

To illustrate the likeness:

Yes, I know what you’re thinking. Maybe they were separated at birth?! Or maybe I met him while attending University of Michigan and am now suffering from serious amnesia?! Haha, no.

Oh, and in case you were wondering… their bodies are the same, too. I’d show you a picture, but that would be too X rated for a wedding blog! ;)

Seriously though, congratulations to all the athletes, you guys are amazing!!!

The good news is that your fiance doesn’t have jacked up teeth! Luckily you get the Michael Phelps-esque look minus the buthisface

Uhh, I’d say he’s better looking than Phelps. I agree with weddingholic, Phelps is a buthisface.

Your FI is way better looking than Michael. Phelps is only good looking from the neck down.

I hate people who think that Phelps should have perfect face because he is a perfect swimmer. Hello, this isn’t Hollywood people. This is what people REALLY look like.

Don’t cry Miss C. I think both men have happy, bright smiles, and both look so content to be where they are at right now.

They’re both adorable! I wouldn’t mind being married to an “Olympian”.

Miss Avocado, I do hope you meant “I hate it when people think…” and not “I hate people who think…”, otherwise you sound far more judgmental than we.

No one said they felt Phelps “should” look any particular way for any reason.

@Miss Cookie: We went grocery shopping after the gym the other day, and I was wearing an “Inner City Games” Olympic shirt, and I felt like people were staring at us for an unreasonably long amount of time!!

@Miss Hot Cocoa: I did show Mr. C the post. He blushed a little!!! ;)

I think Michael Phelps is SUPER cute and seriously, even if he wasn’t the greatest olympian of all time–I really would still think that way! I don’t know why I hear so much meowing from some of the other ladies but my guess is that they’re a little jealous ;) Don’t take it to heart and congratulations! You two look so good together!

I think both Phelps and Mr Coco are adorable and LUCKY YOU that the bods are doppelgangers too!

Have you done e-pics yet? Because I’m thinking maybe Mr. Coco in a Speedo LZR suit…in the after-winning half-unzipped style, of course. ;)

I know I’ve been in the minority with my Michael Phelps opinions for a while, but I think he’s adorable, too. I’ll take some imperfect teeth if the smile is genuine, which his is.

If Phelps is adorably imperfect, Mr. C is simply dashing. Both gents have winning smiles, to be sure, and I would definitely do a double-take if I saw Mr. C walking down the street… or out for a swim!

Miss Coconut- I hope I didn’t offend you. I certainly didn’t mean to. I meant that your fiance looks like an even better Michael Phelps (who I think we can all agree has a godly body. Seriously. He cannot be 100% mortal). I think that you should use his look-alikeness to your advantage- see if you can get some Olympic discounts! ;)

I think they’re both adorable, but Mr. C edges him out just a teeny bit in the cuteness :) Love it!

@beanchar: I WISH I could talk Mr. C into that, but alas we’ve already done our e-pics. *tear*

@weddingholic: No worries, it didn’t offend me, Mr. C was reading the comments and started to feel a little self-conscious, but I think he’s all better now! ;) We weren’t offended, I knew where you were going with it! ;)

@Mrs. Tiramisu: I MUST agree with you on that! :)

Wow — that’s crazy! They look so much alike. What fun with all the focus on MP’s gold medal record right now. Sweet for you — Mr. C is very handsome indeed!

@Jehnel: Jehnel — um, that wasn’t very nice.

I think MP is good looking — he’s got that winning GENUINE smile, who cares about his teeth.

I guess I judge people in the limelight on the whole package — attitude, personality (that shows) and looks, and I think MP is dang hot.

Mos Coconut, you are one lucky lady!

When I first read the headline I thought maybe my cousin was a guest blogger - she is dead set on marrying MP, oh and she’s 10!
Mr. Coconut does look a LOT like MP - Lucky girl!
