Halloween Costumes For A Couple And A Third Wheel

When Three's Not a Crowd: Halloween Costumes for Couples and the Third Wheel

So, there I was, last Halloween, standing in line at the pumpkin patch with my best friends, Alex and Jamie. We'd been planning our costumes for weeks, or so I thought.

Take, for example, the classic group costume of the three little pigs. The couple could be the two pigs who built their houses out of straw and sticks, while you, the third wheel, could be the big bad wolf. Or, if they're going as the three blind mice, you could be the cat who
