I remember my date and I didn't want to wear what everyone else was wearing so we went vintage (This was back in '84 and no one had ever seen anyone dress vintage before). I had a great "Desi Arnaz" black tuxedo and she wore a dusty rose cocktail gown from the 50's. I didn't have money for a limo, so I dressed her VW Rabbit up as one. I made a grill and spare tire out of cardboard and attached them to her car and hung small bud vases inside the car.

We had a blast.

I went to 2 proms. For my senior prom we had such a large group. We had to take two 12 person limos (new law about not having more than 13 people in a limo) and we wanted the classic white limo no party bus.

First, we all met at someone's house for pictures. Going with a lot of people is a lot of fun. It was incredible there were so many cameras flashing at once you didn't know where to look.

Then we took the limos to the beach and of course it was time for more photos at the beautuful shore. The hotel where the prom was at also overlooked the ocean.

A funny moment of the night was when my food came out. I had a Kosher meal and they brought out a really tall stack of styrofoam containers all taped together. It was huge. When they put it on the table it blocked everyones view.

I thought the after prom party was the best. A lot of cool things to do. A hypnotist was there, which is always hilarious. Overall it was a great night. Everyone hung out at my house after while I brewed some much needed coffee.

I can't remember my prom song at the moment, but it wasn't typical at all. I think it was some kind of rap song.

I'm seriously thinking it was can't touch this and then cut into this is the time to remember, which got voted for second place.

This brings back such memories. I was driving to pick up my prom date, Zoe, who lived out in the boondocks. It was a miserable rainy night. As I was driving down this dark, uninhabited road, I noticed a girl in a prom dress standing in the rain, trying to flag me down. I stopped to see if I could help. She asked for a ride. Her car had broken down on a small lane that shot off a little further back on this road. She was on her wy to teh prom also. Her pink chiffon gown was soaked and all but a few petals of the white orchid around her wrist had been blown away by the wind.
She got in we started talking. She said her name was Sarah Simmons and she was supposed to met her date at the entrance to the scholl gymnasium. She was very concerned that she was late, maybe too late, she wondered if he might still be waiting after all this time.
After about a mile she told me to pull over. Not knowing what was going on, I did as she asked. We were in front of a small graveyard that had long been forgotten. Sarah jumped out of teh car and ran through teh gates of teh cemetary. I chased after her but lost site of her as soon as I got through the gate.

Eventually went off, leaving Sarah, and picked up Zoe. I stareted to tell her the story when she interrupt and asked
"Did she have a pink chiffon gown and a white orchid corsage?"

"yes" I cried "do you know her?"
"Sure" she replied "everyone knows the story of Sarah Simmons. She died in a car accident on her way to the prom twenty years ago on that very road where you picked her up. She is buried in that old cemetary."

That was quite an experience. I'll never forget it. I get goosebumps even now when I think of it.

My prom was great both years. Junior year I went with a kid who was getting close to being my boyfriend. It was a blast. We have dinner at our Prom so it was great sitting with everyone eating and talking. The dancing was fun and the night flew by. My senior prom was a blast. I went with a friend who I have known all my life, he was a freshman and the only freshman guy so it was a highlight for him. It was great hanging out with my friends for our last dance, and having fun knowing graduation was around the corner.

My junior prom sucked. We went in a group to some restaurant I never heard of, which was apparently THE prom place of 2002 because friggin' everyone in the city was there. And since they were so crowded, they were out of some menu items. Like chicken. The only other choices were a shrimp appetizer, duck or rabbit. I'd never had duck and there was no way I was eating a bunny so I got the stupid appetizer and was starving by night's end. The dance itself wasn't any better; I was really standoffish and freaked out around my date. It was not a night to remember.
Senior prom, however, was great. Except for our driver. We rented a duoble-decker bus and after dinner, the driver pulled up in front of an old, obviously unoccupied building and said, "Here's prom." To which we replied, "Uh, no it's not." He went to the addred on the invitations, but it was definitely not where porm was. So we spent a half hour on our cellphones calling our parents and trying to get to the dance before it was over. When we finally did, I had a much better time than the last year.

considering my first prom was a grand total of two weeks ago mine wont be that hard to remember hehehe

ummm...

i went with my boyfriend and he drove me in his stylish minivan...hahaha...anyways prom itself was really lame...they didn't play any good music and my least favorite person got onto the prom court...but i hold no grudges...after prom however was a blast, we all headed back to one of my friend's house and lit a giant bonfire and hung out in sweats and stuff in front of the fire listening to good music like the cranberries, new found glory, the beatles, among others, also the next day we all went to sixflags and it was amazing! hehe

One day we'll meet again, On this rocky road of life. But for now just leave me here. I promise I won't shed a tear.

I went to a prom earlier this year with a friend of a friend from an all girls school. I should have known that it would be weird, with the whole 'friend of a friend' thing, but she didn't have anyone to go with, and I guess I'm just a nice guy like that. I wore my Choir tux, since this was really short notice, but as it turned out, we actually matched, since she was wearing purple. That was the best thing that happened, I think.

She picked me up, since I'm too young to drive, and there was a kind of awkward silence when I got in the car, since I was being squished in the back with strangers. The dance itself was boring as all Hell. I didn't know anyone save my one friend, since I didn't go to the school, and the music was all rap, which I personally can't stand. The girl who took me wasn't the sweet, quiet type as I thought she would be, and she was very intent on dragging me into dark corners that were not quite dark enough to not be seen in. After the hours-long ordeal, I went home and crashed in front of 'Moulin Rouge.'

Oy. Wow. That night's almost painful to look back on, with the exception of the 'Moulin Rouge' part.

Oh, and I forgot to mention.

Our prom theme was "Almost Paradise."
Our prom song was "Wonderful Tonight."

Anyone else see anything wrong with this????????

Junior year's theme was "Almost Famous," which was actually kind of cool. The venue was cool to begin with and they added red, gold and silver star decorations.
Senior year's was "Magic Carpet Ride," and the horrible irony was that we had invaded Iraq about six weeks earlier. My friends and I dubbed the theme "Bagdhance," "BinLadance" and "Afghaniprom."

My senior year, I took my then boyfriend to prom and it was a great night. I don't believe they'd ever had a gay couple at prom, but I had all my friends' support as well as my teachers...well the ones that would be chaperoning the prom. It was actually a bit of a nuisance though, because as we're trying to enjoy the evening, everyone came up taking pictures of us and with us and it got out of hand. But it was a fun night.

I definitely had one of those picture- perfect teen movie proms.
I had a gorgeous dress.
And a gorgeous boyfriend.
I danced all night.
Didn't get too drunk till the prom was over.
Went camping with the entire graduating class (and there were two years graduating that year- double cohort) on a friend's plant farm and got SMASHED.
But most importantly, the highlight of any teen movie prom night....
I got laid in a tent.

Perfect prom

Practically outdoors, but not totally. In the film version we will have a shot from the outside with the shape of your hand running down the side of the tent, a la Titanic.
