Prom Challenge

My friend, Hannah, has great ideas for blog challenges. Right now she has a mullet challenge going on to see who can find the best mullet in a public place and there have been some funny entries. She had another great idea this morning for the best prom pictures from the past. She didn't want to have too many challenges going on right now on her blog, so I decided to host this one. So, if you have a funny picture of you going to a prom, please email it to me and I will submit it on here. Include the prom year and the name of your hot date. I will go first. Sorry for the blurry pictures. I can't figure out how to scan them. Please let me start by saying that our school didn't have proms. We had "Jr/Sr Banquets". We were a Christian school, you know! Also, none of my dates were hot. I did not enjoy dating in highschool--boys were too immature for my taste.

Man, I wish this picture would come out clearly! This was my 10th grade year, 1996. My date was Mark Davis and he didn't say 2 words to me the entire night. You like his white lapels? Snazzy, Mark. We are at my friend, Holli's, house and we doubled with her and her boyfriend, Chad. I am wearing Dolly's hand-me-down dress but I didn't care. It was a Jessica McClintock and I thought I was so cool. Don't you love my black gloves? Classy, huh. I especially like the fake diamond/pearl bracelet that sets the gloves off. I can remember being SO glad this night was over.

This was my junior year, 1997. My date was John Johnson. I remember being excited to go with him because he was one of the cool seniors, but then he ruined it. He took me out on a date prior to the Jr/Sr. Our date was going great. He took me to get a milkshake and then to a play at Liberty University and then in the middle of the play... he held my hand! It freaked me out because I have big hands and he had smaller ones. I felt like I was holding a little boy's hand. Plus, it creeped me out that he held my hand on the first date. Come on, John!! Move slowly! In this picture we are at his grandparent's house posing with their bear. I am wearing Denise's bridesmaids dress from her wedding that previous summer. Again, Jessica McClintock! WOOHOO! A Reber girl favorite. I actually liked this dress. The back was really pretty and I felt pretty. Once again, though....I was SO happy when this night ended. Donna in highschool+ dating equaled awkward!

Okay, why can't I get this picture to scan! I wish you could see my hair. My mom did it and at the time, I thought my bee-hive was so classy! Looking back now, I look like a grandmother at her grandson's wedding! This was my senior year (1998) and I was dreading this night, but it ended up being great! My date was Brian Summers (the smartest guy in our class) and he asked me 2 months in advance. I had no excuse so I had to say yes. There was no awkwardness, though, because he knew I wasn't interested, so we went as friends and it was a fun night. I am wearing a spaghetti strap number with a stole. I remember I was so happy that my mom let me get this dress. I was in a major Jackie Kennedy Onassis stage during this time and I thought this dress was just like something she'd wear. Not hardly, Donna, but it's nice that you thought that. You're cute. Oh yeah, and the sweet little couple to my right is none other than Dr. and Mrs. Daniel K. Logan and their 3 month old daughter Maddie!

So there you have it. Who's next?
