Social media is abuzz today with news that local couple Rachel and Thomas Yardsworth have officially set up an entire tent together without even killing each other.
“To be safe, we first practiced putting it together in the backyard before going camping this weekend and also because if I get stabbed with a stake, being closer to Harborview definitely increases chances of survival,” said Thomas, squeezing Rachel’s hand. “Fortunately, there was only a quick moment when she got a look in her eye that said she might finish me off like Dracula himself, and then it passed.”
The couple that is now the new international face of the #RelationshipGoals hashtag said assembling a tent together without literally stabbing each other to death is all about patience.
“Are there moments when you both want to wrap the poles’ nylon bags around your partner’s neck? Or at least gouge an eye out? Sure,” said Rachel. “But then you just don’t. And that’s the key to a happy marriage. But also folding the tent back right so it fits back in the goddamn bag, you know?”
At press time, the couple was still reportedly alive despite a dispute over whether bringing the tent’s rain cover and footprint are really worth the extra 20 ounces.
