i never went to my prom.
my family could never have afforded it but more importantly, i never wanted to go or waste my hard earned money on it. i was saving my work $ for uni.
i had friends who went to what would have been 'my prom'. i never felt i missed anything.
even 30 yrs later, no regrets. i watch shows where they talk wistfully of theirs or how much they regretted not going to theirs.
am i just odd? did i really miss something special? can you share?
@singlemaltgirl not $500 hell no - I don't think anybody paid that much - we all arrived in friends cars - even all went out to a 1AM breakfast in carpools.... it was a local band that played.... and everyone already knew the royalty couple 2 months ahead of it
@singlemaltgirl I should add my prom was in a little town in WNY from the mid 80's
@duglop did you pay a lot of $$?
for my friends, back in the day, there was the dresses and the limos and then the ticket itself for the dinner/dance. it would easily be upwards of $500/person. and that was 30 yrs ago!
