To start off with a lovely story that will make you swoon, or gawk in disbelief, we travel back to prom season 2003...

"So I'm dating this super awesome senior. I'm a sophomore, so I feel ultra cool. It's my first prom and I'm going with an upperclassman, so I'm terrified. His friends asked all my friends, so that was cool. I got there in a really beautiful dress--red, slinky with rhinestones. I'm pretty pale so this purplish-red looked good. I did my own hair and borrowed jewelry. Mom bought me gorgeous clear shoes that go with everything. Still, I was nervous.

Anyway, he's standing there in his living room decked out in an all-white tux. We look like Christmas together, but I don't care. Once I see him, I can't stop giggling. Anyway, after pictures and dinner, we get back in the limo and my boyfriend says, "Okay, guys, we have to go back to my house." All the girls were like, what? But the guys were quiet, like they knew what was going on.

So we get there and he takes me by the hand and leads me to the garage. I'm kinda freaked out, but he opens the door and the whole garage is lit up with Christmas lights, white sheets draped on the wall. He pulls me to the middle of the concrete floor and turns on a CD. My favorite--really cheesy--songs come on. Mariah Carey's "Always Be My Baby", that Bryan Adams song from Robin Hood, and we dance for like 15 minutes. We were in a garage, but it felt like heaven! I was so thrilled and flattered that he'd thought of something so romantic--as an 18 yr. old high schooler. I'm about to graduate college now, and nothing like that has happened since. Yay for prom memories!"
