KETV: After 65 years of marriage, Mel and Joey Schwanke believe they have discovered the secret to wedded bliss: their wardrobe. “We don’t go somewhere without having matching outfits,” Mel, 86, told a local broadcaster.
The Freemont, Neb. couple has 146 custom-made matching outfits, which they wear together while working at the flower shop they’ve run for six decades (which explains their preference for floral patterns). But the Schwankes can’t exactly recall what jump started their complimentary styling.
“Oh goodness sakes, no, I don’t remember how the first outfit came about,” Mel said, noting they’d worn matching outfits since at least 1976.
According to Mel, Joey, 81, gets the honor of picking their outfits each day.
Not my thing but hey, whatever works for them! Kinda cute

Good for them! This day and age, if wearing matching outfits work for them, more power to ‘em! They appear to be genuinely happy.

Soon they will graduate to digital camo.
Well, they did say they don’t “go somewhere” w/o matching outfits, which makes me think that at home they have different underwear!
LMAO! Yeah, totally disturbing if they had the same underwear.
Bless their hearts….it’s nice to see young lovers
The cause-and-effect probably is the other way around: Mel and Joey dress alike because they are happy together. However, that riot-of-pink-flowers print sure looks better on Joey than on Mel. LOL
VERY astute! Good on you for reminding us, as most have likely forgotten this in the impossible search for the “perfect mate”!
Why did they only tell HER age but not HIS?!
This reminds me of seeing a photo taken of our retired pastor and his family who I’ve known since I was five years old. The photo was at their 50th wedding anniversary party, and he wore a light blue tie which matched his wife’s dress.
i wonder when obama and holder started wearing matching outfits along with their sometime friend reggie love.
Only your best friend would go along with the matching outfits
