Question about match etiquette

I have a question for the forum.

Before the match, I contacted my #1 program and let them know that they were my #1 and I really loved the program. I did not end up matching there, which is fine, but I have a question.

I was couples-matching, so it's possible that this program did rank me #1 or #2 and I didn't end up there because my wife didn't match there. If this is the case, I don't want them to think that I lied to them. Should I send them an email explaining or should I just forget about it? Any advice would be appreciated.

Did your wife also tell the program that they were #1? It's possible that the program directors between your two respective specialties are already aware that you are couples matching, based on your application, and you don't have to explain anything to them.
If it were me, I would base my next action on the type of response you got from the program director. If you had a favorable response from them, or had been keeping in touch with them throughout the interview process, perhaps a short note to thank them for their consideration is warranted, with mention of the couples matching process. If you had no response, I would just let it rest.
At any rate, congrats on matching into radonc AND successfully couples matching!
