One small San Antonio family get-together is making a big splash on Facebook and has thousands drawing up party plans.
Alexis Collins is the co-star of a Facebook post that's racked up more than 12,000 reactions overnight. She and her husband, Jordan Santos, were invited to his cousin's "Dress Like Your Spouse" party on Saturday, June 12, and spared no details in switching roles.
During the quarantine months of the pandemic, the "Flip the Switch Challenge" gained popularity on TikTok for the funny ways couples would trade clothes to the tune of Drake's 2018 song "Nonstop." Given the willingness of guests to dress up for a party hosted by Desiree Alvarez and Melanie Bowser, Santos' cousins, people were ready to show off their looks in person.

No couple seemed to do it better than Collins and Santos. Their renditions of each other proved the two have been paying attention to over the last six years.

She dressed in an outfit Santos wore to a high school banquet, while he made borrows a dress and purse from his mom's closet, made a shopping trip to Ross for a pair of modest heels and to Walgreens to pick out press-on nails.
"We definitely went all out," Collins says with a laugh.
The portrayal was down to the undergarments, she says. Santos went as far as shaving his legs for his sundress, which he later flounced around while dancing in a video.
Santos' dancing is a fan favorite on Facebook, with ladies noticing his freshly shaven legs.
"Those calf muscles though," one comment reads.

"I woke up this morning to a whole bunch of a notifications I was like what the heck is going on," she says. "It was just crazy, I was not expecting it at all."
Aside from getting acquainted with Facebook fame, Collins is also realizing how much the getting dressed process differs between men and women. For once, she was finished getting ready before her husband and had time to help him strap on his heels since his nails proved to be a a bit of a deterrent. She's hoping he learned something too.
"Now he won't complain when I get ready," she jokes.
