As I was getting ready for grad, I thought it would be fun to ask some of my friends about their stories about getting ready for prom.
A friend of mine decided to come with her family, my best friend with her a date, and a good friend of mine with her last minute date. Although I would have loved input from my guy friends they really weren’t as enthusiastic about it as the girls were. So here are their prep stories and some of their best memories from graduation. And for privacy purposes I have allotted all of them a title, along with a brief description of their gowns and who they came with, and why and how they chose their dresses and a few other things.
The Girl with the Cape:
The girl with the cape had a literal cape-like custom addition to her beautiful blue beaded gown. She decided to come with her family since they wanted to share the memories of her grad with her, she also sat with her best friend and his new girlfriend. She had settled on many dresses before she settled on the one she liked best.
What was your best memory from that night?
It would have to be having a bonfire till 3 in the morning with my close friends and laughing and just listening to great music and making memories
The Organized One:
This girl had her dress, shoes, hair and makeup planned since about December! Never had I met a more organized person for this one night. She bought a beautiful pink dress with intricate beading and I had the honour of going with her to her dress fitting. That day her and her boyfriend picked out about 23 dresses for me to try on, and I did fall in love with this beautiful mermaid two piece lace burgundy gown. But unfortunately it was not meant to be.
She didn’t have to try on too many dresses, she just fell in love with hers. And her boyfriend even wore a pink tie to match!
What was one of your favourite things to do before grad in relation to grad?
I loved going out with my friends and making them try on dresses, its just like real life dress up
The Two Inch Heel One:
This girl found her dress almost right away after starting her search! She is one of the few lucky ones. She bought a beautiful royal blue mermaid gown with black waist line and bustier detailing. Although she hadn’t figured out her nails nor hair nor makeup till about a week before she didn’t end up liking her hair. But what was amazing was that she prioritized comfort over looks at least for her feet, which was helpful for her in the long run. She asked her guy best friend to be her date with balloons and a poster and posted it on social media!
What made your grad special?
Having one of my best friends come out and surprise me and having a lot of my family come out to support me and definitely sharing that dance with you haha.
These were just some of the experiences my friends and I had, and I think everyone has a little different story to tell. Each one is unique like the person that wears the suit. tux or dress.
Whats yours?
