new year's eve prom

So, here's a secret: I didn't go to my prom.

I was trying to explain this to some friends recently and remembered that I thought I needed to be in love with someone to go to prom. So I said no to the nice guys who asked me because I wasn't in love with them.

Whaa?! It was high school!

I'm not sure where I got this needing-to-be-in-love idea from. And it rattled around in my head unchallenged all these years because prom just doesn't come to mind. So I had this little 17 year-old's thought in my head.

But this year we had a New Year's Eve prom, complete with spiked punch, a balloon drop, corsages and boutonnieres, couple photos, crashers, and prom royalty.

The theme: Not In Love.

No, just kidding.

The theme: A Moment in Time.
