@Hope4yourn

It's actually a good/clever answer , but not the one to this riddle. In this riddle, the match hasn't been played yet, so he can't have seen it already.

@DarkWolf I'm guessing she takes her husband's picture, (not sure what the water part is about), then hangs the picture?

@floatingonatidalwave Wait, is the water part talking about developing the picture? Hmm...

it's part of it, but there is a step missing... you develop the negatives and hang them to dry, then you develop the photos and hang them to dry...
