Our school had proms Junior and Senior year.
Junior year, a bunch of us who weren't too into the whole prom thing decided to be creative and develop our own "Prom Night Adventure". The 20 of us dressed up semi-formal and rented some limos... we went out to a nice dinner, a music/light show at the planetarium, bowling, and then when we got kicked out of the bowling alley
we went to a coffee shop for cocoa and cookies. It was a blast.
The next year I took my boyfriend (now DH) to my prom... it was pretty boring. I got the nice dress, had my hair done, did my nails and make-up.. that was probably the most fun part of it.
The limo ride with 8 of our friends was cool... and all 10 of us spent the night at one girl's house, hanging out and chatting. It was nice.. and for most of us, the first time we were allowed to sleep over with the opposite sex, lol.
