Prom 2016
Mariah's Junior Prom was last Friday. I never went to my own prom, so I was nervous about how it would all come together. Mariah is a no frills kind of girl. She doesn't wear dresses, jewelry or makeup, and when you throw in a dressy event like prom, you can probably understand my concern for how it was all going to go down. We had a few snags with dress shopping, shoe shopping, and then I almost had a meltdown when she decided that she wasn't going to make a hair appointment, trying to opt going natural. For every day wear, natural hair is fine. When you go to an event like prom, you at least attempt a hairstyle to compliment your formal attire. Thank God my best friend is a whiz with the curling iron and Mariah agreed to let her style her hair. In the end, she loved her look, and seeing the look on her boyfriend's face as he walked in the door was priceless. I did get my way with making them take a few photos before they went to dinner. Here are a few of my favorites...

Thank you, Ai! It was so fun seeing her all dressed up like this!
DeleteI never went to prom. I was never very social, car-less, and a coward when it came to girls. My wife never got to go either. One day we'll go to one of these retro prom events for old people who never got to go.
ReplyDeleteI keep thinking I want to do that some day too since I missed prom. It does sound like a lot of fun for us old folk ;)
DeleteOh my goodness they are such a great looking couple! You got some great photos! I love her dress!
ReplyDeleteI went to a few dances. I think 1 homecoming and 1 prom. I went out with a guy for 2 1/2 years during that time. We went to different schools. Formals were hard because he didn't know people at my school, and visa versa.
I imagine it must have been a bit awkward trying to fit into a group of kids you don't know at one of those kinds of social events. It's nice that you both put forth the effort for each other though!
DeleteThey sure look like they are having a great time together. I only went to the last one by myself just to see what the fuss was about. Bunch of people sitting around talking with drunk nuts thrown in, whoopeee lol
ReplyDeleteYeah, when the drunks came in, she decided it was time to go home. Ended up leaving an hour early because the losers had to come in and ruin it.
Deletetwas a lovely dress and lovely photos too! Did they have a nice time? I'm surprised she didn't slick his hair back with some hairgel for a glamorous look :)
ReplyDeleteShe did have a nice time, but came home an hour early when some of the kids decided to break out the alcohol and act like fools.
DeleteSlicked back hair would have been nice, but apparently the shaggy do is what he prefers, even for formal wear. I am taking photos of my best friend's son this weekend for his prom and his girlfriend has his style on lock down, demanding his hair get cut the day before prom. No shag will be going on for her prom lol
I think I like best the photo in which Shaggy is laughing on her shoulder, looks like the cutest of moments.
DeleteI like that one too because that really shows his personality. He finds humor in a lot of things and is always laughing. Even with me and my bestie bossing him around for poses, he still managed to crack up here.
DeleteOMG, she is just lovely. And he is delightfully goofy! I mean that in a totally good way! What a cute couple.
ReplyDeleteThank you Paula! He really is a goofy one, but that's why we love him.
DeleteBeautiful photos, she looks lovely in her dress! I loved my prom mostly because of the fun I had with my girlfriends. All our dates turned out to be duds so we spent the night together celebrating graduation and we're all still friends almost ten years later!

Oh WoW Theresa!!! She is beautiful. They sure do grow up so fast don't they. My Daughter is now in her .... well she is probably a little older than you.
ReplyDeleteOh wow she looks amazing - what a beautiful dress she has chosen - I hope she had the most amazing time. x
ReplyDeleteShe looked stunning! That dress is gorgeous and looked amazing on her. We don't really do proms here in Canada, so I've never gone to one! - Jeanine
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful couple. I went to prom - and won the dance competition.
ReplyDeleteShe looks gorgeous and that's a beautiful dress.
ReplyDeleteI asked a guy to prom and he sort of rejected me. I was devastated. Now - thank goodness I didn't go. =)
She looks beautiful. They both look fantastic. I love the photos. I hope she had a wonderful evening. I did go to my Jr. prom, it was not very memorable. My date was my friend's older brother and I am not sure he had a "killer time!" lol
ReplyDeleteThey are adorable! I love her dress - she looks so classy and elegant! I DID go to prom my Senior Year - with a 104 degree fever and I honestly don't remember much of it LOL
ReplyDeleteOmg what beautiful photos!!!!! Her dress is just fabulous. Hope her evening was magical :)
ReplyDeleteHer dress is gorgeous. Love the color combination. I remember my prom night ... It was pretty awesome having been dance with my crush.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos! It looks like they were having lots of fun getting the photos taken. Very cute and gorgeous dress.
ReplyDeleteShe's beautiful! I was gushing looking at the cute pictures! I wish I had taken pictures like this when I went to my prom!
ReplyDeleteI don't even remember my prom much because it was so many years ago. My daughter was like that, she was still a "tomboy" so we had a hard time figuring out what she was going to wear. She got an amazing dress however and the night went smoothly. Mariah looked amazing!
ReplyDeleteYou did get some great pictures. I love how happy they look. And your daughter looks stunning!
ReplyDeleteThe pictures turned out great and Mariah looks nice all dressed up.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures prom was such a great occasion. She looks really happy!
ReplyDeleteI saw your pics over on Facebook. I love her dress - she looks so pretty.
