Oh and yes, the drinking is underage in grade 11, lol. Which is why it happens at a campground or someone's house, but there is usually parental supervision and parent volunteers to drive the kids back home. We are very comfortable with our underage drinking in Quebec, lol.
I know! Quebec is like another world. We love it there; if my H could work there I would move back in a second.
Anyway, I know out east, there's another year of high school. I like the cegep concept, I'm not sure how it works in Ontario, lol. Prom isn't a thing here though.
My high school did 9-12, and you got your diploma after 12, but it wasn't unheard of for people to do a "victory lap". We had a prom. I didn't go. Lol. It was like any other formal.

This is foreign to me too, dinner was served at my prom, it was in a hotel ballroom. I'm old though, so maybe things are different now.
One of my friends always refers to those little round stuffed chicken breasts as "prom chicken". As in " how was the food at that wedding?" "It was ok, you know, prom chicken". I'm pretty sure that actually was the main course at my prom.

Just got done with the first page, but it's strange to me (based on my experiences) to have dinner and the dance in the same place or to go someplace like champps (mn here). Our prom was held in the IDS building and one year we ate at basils, so technically in the same place but for our other poem we at somewhere downtown.
My cousin's school dances (different schools) were INSANE - I wore her homecoming and winter dance as prom dresses twice. They would go out and buy $300 dresses, and rented limos, super expensive restaurants, etc. So if it was like that 11 years ago I should probably start saving for franks prom!
ETA: there were so many misspelled words, I don't even know if I got them all
My mom's prom date was arrested for armed robbery the weekend before her prom. He was trying to get money for the event. Sadly, he lost the date in the process. You can't make this shit up.
That reminds me of the girl* whose fiance was arrested at his bachelor party. He had killed and dismembered his friend and friend's girlfriend in order to steal a few thousand dollars so he could pay for their honeymoon.
*my H worked with her a few times, I only knew her and her fiance peripherally

I'm really late here, but WAT.
Lol, insane right? I can pm you the deets - I won't elaborate here because it's not a safe place obviously.
We had dinner at my house on prom night, I'm pretty sure my mom cooked. Talk about saving money. If anyone should have aimed higher it was us, I guess Applebee's or champs would have been a step up, hah.

Yes please! Should I delete my quote?
Nah, not really enough details. And really it's not like we were best friends with the couple or anything. I only met the guy like twice. Incidentally I didn't like him, he was a braggart and only talked about himself. Go figure, because given what he did, I'm fairly certain he's a sociopath.
Oh, wanna feel bad for me. I took a freshman when I was a senior. He was grounded, but didn't tell me and proceeded to sneak out of the house. His parents found out, he ran out of prom and hid in some bushes, I never saw him again that night. My asshole friends STILL make fun of me.

My junior prom date got super drunk at our group after party and he slept in the hotel bathroom next to the toilet. I checked on him periodically because I was panicked that he might choke to death on his own puke (he didn't, thank goodness). And this was back when I didn't drink yet.

My senior year, we did dinner at a friend's house. I think our moms all got together and cooked. Then, I drove 8 people to prom in my mom's minivan. I have zero judgement for the kids eating at Champs. :-p
Pssssst. Nanny nanny boo boo about going to prom as an underclassman is, uh, odd.
I'm sorry, that was not what I meant, I was trying to be sarcastic and play off of the "I'm cool" comment.
Oh, we knew where you were going with it.
It was just funny. It would be like if someone said, "Everyone forgot my sweet 16 and I stayed home all alone." and someone else said, "oh man, I know. Four different people threw me Sweet Sixteen parties!"

I do not remember my JR prom at all. My SR prom H and I stayed at the a hotel that night. I still don't rem where we ate or what we did. Both years was a waste of money. We went long enough to say hi and left.
My prom experience was probably the epitome of needing to aim higher.
I went with my gay BFF. (Check) We rented COSTUMES from the costume shop to wear. He had tails, a top hat and cane. I had a hoop skirt with matching jacket with puffy sleeves. (CHECK) We went to Magic Time Machine for dinner. (The waiters are all characters - Tinkerbell, Cinderella, eeyore, etc. They make fun of you and sing a song when you go to the bathroom.) (CHEEECK)
Strangely, all the pictures from that night have vanished.
