What native English speaker can possibly think that "my wife and I's" is correct?

Wait, what is the correct way to write this? "my wife and my friend booked a table" makes it sound like the wife was also involved in booking the table, whereas the original made it clear that just the friend booked the table.

Maybe 'A friend of my wife and I'?
