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!!!
NOT FAIRRRRRRRR.
I think everyone wants Phelps for the gold….without it…would he be so hot???
LOL I’m voting Mr. Coconut to star in the Michael Phelps Movie!!
The good news is that your fiance doesn’t have jacked up teeth! Luckily you get the Michael Phelps-esque look minus the buthisface
That’s too funny! I vote he plays Phelps in the movie too!
Uhh, I’d say he’s better looking than Phelps. I agree with weddingholic, Phelps is a buthisface.
Seriously, the resemblance is uncanny! Does Mr. C ever get mistaken as Phelps on the stree?
Uncanny! Did you show this post to Mr. Coconut? Is he blushing?
Your FI is way better looking than Michael. Phelps is only good looking from the neck down.
From the neck down, MP is okay. From the neck up, it’s just ew.
Hey you guys do realize that some of you are saying that Mr. C is “ew?” I might just cry.
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.
Hey, hey, hey let’s all calm down ladies, this was meant to be a fun post!!! 
@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!
