Prom Night Flashback

All of my favorite wedding photographers always start off their  posts with fabulous shots of the bride's shoes and accessories. Here is my hillbilly attempt at my prom shoes and handbag. I was excited to have a reason to use my Christmas gift from Meg (Coach bag) and Charlie helped me pick out these extremely uncomfortable shoes.  (Notice the annoying dog in the background??) 

Ben and I drove separate to the prom this year so that he could stay to help with clean-up. I had to leave at 9:30. Next year, I am staying late and he can be the responsible one for the night. I wanted to stay and party!

We had a really fun time getting all dressed up and eating dinner with some friends. We even got "real" prom pictures taken! 

After pictures it was dancing time!!!!! Here is Darcy showing off some of her moves. Please forgive me Darcy! I couldn't resist. :) 

Where is Ben???? Oh there he is standing FAR away from the dance floor and cringing as I yelled, "Honey! Mr. Tonagel! I'm over here!" Poor guy. He didn't stand a chance. He knew I was determined to embarrass him. 

And here was one of my favorite parts of the night. (Pardon the terrible copy. We don't have a scanner so I just took a picture. Pretty pathetic I know!) A few of us "Walkin' it out on the dance floor." So fun!!!! 

And while we are on a prom kick. I pulled out my old photo albums and found these pictures. Here we are at our first formal together- GR 1997. I was 16 and Ben was 18. We look about 10 though! Don't we look like the epitome of an awkward high school couple!?!?

And here we are at Ben's Senior Prom- 1997. He was Prom King!!! Hah!

Hope you all had a great weekend. We are busy this month with a lot of school functions.
