As the weather gets warmer, girls begin to shop for extravagant dresses in every color of the rainbow, just hoping that special someone will ask them to such an important event. As if asking a cute girl or boy to prom wasn’t nerve-wracking enough, these intelligent students have come up with the idea of “Prom-posals” which have the appearance of marriage proposals, but without the long term commitment. Today’s social media features brave souls decorating poster boards, applying a thousand sticky notes on cars, and delivering bouquets of flowers.Here at LCCTC, it’s no different.
With prom right around the corner, consider this: Has the delivery of these “prom-posals” become a competition -- to see who can outdo the next? Does the “date-to-be” truly appreciate the efforts of the “prom-poser”? How would you like to be asked to prom?
Gemma Gatto asked her best friend to the prom by “stepping up to the plate!” Both have played softball and baseball since they were little, so when it was time for her to pop the question, she didn’t drop the ball; on a poster in the shape of home base, she wrote, “I’m stepping up to the plate! Will you be my date to prom?” She presented to him a baseball which had the message “Prom?” He said,“YES!”
Bradley Shoaf wanted to ask his girlfriend to prom which he did in a unique way. When asked about his perspective on prom-posals, he did say it was stressful because he couldn't think of a good way to ask her. “I just want whoever I am asking to be happy and smile, that's what it's all about!" Brad thought outside the box with this prom-posal and taped balloons to her car with a beautiful poster with the question Prom? Thankful for him, she said "Yes!"
Another unique prom-posal from Chris Maunder. He "just kept swimming" till he found his Dory. On the next day, Chris followed up his invitation with a bag full of candy and caffeine-filled beverages.
