Couples Matching in highly competitive fields

[yosemite]

My s/o and I will be couples matching this upcoming year and would preferably like to match in derm & ortho (cray-cray, I know). We're both competitive for our fields, but know that these are two hard specialities to match in alone, not even considering trying to do it as a couple. Thus, one or both of us are also planning on doing a "back-up" match as well (probably radiology or anesthesiology). Any advice from people who have charted this field?

Don't use the phrase "cray" during any interview day. 👍
