What year did you go? 1999, my junior year. I didn't go my senior year.

Are you still in contact with them? We aren't as close now, but yes.
What did your prom attire look like? I had a long grey and pink dress, it had a longer pink layer with a grey layer over it. It had spaghetti straps that was a metal chain with sporadic pink crystals (kinda like a necklace, just straps instead). I also wore angel wings. Like real feather, about 18" long wings. I was... Different lol
Was it held anywhere cool? Nah, just the typical hotel ballroom.
Did it have a theme? Casino night. There was casino games and such, it was fun.
Did you do anything fun before or after? We got high on the way there, but that's about it lol

serendipity731 - I think I speak for all of S16 when I say we're gonna need you to dig up a picture of you in those wings.

Hahaha I'm trying to think of where one is, but I sure will!

What year: 2008
Had fun? Sure
Who did I go with: my high school boyfriend
Still in contact: not really. We're friends on Fb but that's it. He broke my heart in college.
Prom attire: my dress was long and periwinkle. I'll try to dig up a photo.
Where was it held: I think it was at a country club
Theme: no clue
After: we all crashed at my friend's house and I remember that we watched that will Ferrell ice skating movie but I only made it through the first few minutes before falling asleep. And that has been the ultimate definition of my "party" lifestyle.

ETA:

What year: 2004
Had fun? Yes
Who I went with: my now husband
Still in contact: Yes. Our best friends who we went with were my MoH and our officiant at our wedding and are still some of our best friends.
Attire: A-line, corn flower blue, very simple. I think I still have it, actually.
Held at: some country club
Theme: can't remember
After: we went to Shari's, where the guys spent an hour pulling Bobby pins out of our hair and I annoyed the waitress by ordering diet Pepsi and a huge cup of marichino cherries.
Other fun stuff: My now FIL made us this huge Italian dinner and my friend and I ended up wearing H's t-shirts over our dresses. We watched some idiot sophomores and juniors get kicked out after one of our friends pointed out to one of the teachers that they weren't just eating whip cream out of the spent canisters that the drink station was throwing out, they were getting high as well. Our car broke down on the way to prom and FIL had to come rescue us.

Then H and I tried to have sex in the back of his car on our way home, but some random person knocked on the window and asked if we were planning to sleep where we parked and we panicked and left in case they were like watching us or something.

What year did you go? 1997 & 1998 (I'm old as balls compared to most of you guys!)
Did you have fun? Yes
Who did you go with? My group of girlfriends both times, I didn't really date much in high school (hello awkward phase. Plus my class had 22 people in it, all the guys were like brothers to me since we'd known each other since birth)
Are you still in contact with them? Most of them!
What did your prom attire look like? First time, a sapphire blue sheath with sparkle shit on the criss-cross strappy things on the back. 2nd time, a short swingy silver crushed-velvet spaghetti strap number. Don't judge me, it was the 90s.
Was it held anywhere cool? Ha! My high school gym, so no.
Did it have a theme? First one was "an evening in Paris" & second was something tropical I think?
Did you do anything fun before or after? My school did an after-prom lock-in to try to prevent all the sex and drinking, it was like a casino setup where you played games and won stuff, and most of the parents volunteered to run it etc. It was actually really fun.
And other details or stories you want to tell us? I can't really remember that much about it! (because old)
