Austin asked me to prom with a poster that said "prom would be picture-perfect with you." The poster had pictures of us around the border, including ones from 3 years ago when we started dating (I still had braces haha). Of course, I said yes! He brought me Wawa coffee and a breakfast sandwich, as well, so I was especially eager to say yes.
I went with him yesterday to pick out his tux. We were going to go with possibly navy this year, but because of my dress color, we went with a dark gray. His pants, jacket, and vest are all dark gray, but his tie is the color of the top of my dress. We got a really cool tie! It is an ombre tie, so it has a lot of different colors. I wanted us to look very "springy," and the tie really helps with that goal.
He HATES the picture part of prom. We go to White Clay's Judge Morrison Estate (or something like that), and it is absolutely gorgeous. He just hates that we take pictures for a few hours. Plus, his mom can be really annoying about pictures, which just makes him grumpy. By the time the picture session is over, he's usually really irritable, as he gets super hungry and exhausted.
Last year, prom was at the same place it is this year (it is going to be at Deerfield, and the table set up is pictured below). It is SO NICE. There was a drink bar where we could get whatever drink we wanted. There were also amazing desserts and coffee. The main entree was good, but not particularly memorable. My only complaint about last year was that my ears hurt from the music... it was so loud.
This year, Austin and I were nominated for prom King and Queen. Our friends, Hanna and Ryan, were also nominated. They always joke about how they want Austin and I to break up for like 2 minutes so they can officially be the longest-dating couple at the school. They are really great friends, and we are sitting with them during dinner at prom. I am really looking forward to prom because of them and because of my dress, Austin's tux, and dinner!!!!!! :)
