A YA Prom to Remember!

It's prom season! Whether you are a current high school student or graduated, we all remember prom at our high school. The flurry of planning - who are you going with, what are you going to wear, how will you do your hair - and all that goes with it.

For my senior high school prom, many moons, ago, I went with a friend of mine. I didn't have a boyfriend at the time but nor did I want to go stag. So I told a friend of mine he was going with me. Didn't ask. Didn't question. Told.

We "doubled" with one of my best friends and her date - also as friends. In a way, I think I enjoyed it more going with friends than I did with a date. I went to prom with a then-boyfriend my junior year and while it was fun, it didn't have the same level of funness as when I went with friends.

Here are some of my prom pictures - thanks to my friend's Facebook page because my pictures are still buried in a box somewhere. . . Where are those pictures?!

This year, to celebrate both prom and A Prom to Remember by Sandy Hall, Swoon Reads and Fierce Reads are joining forces to throw a YA Prom To Remember!

For my YA dream prom, I choose to accept the promposal (I hate those things so much - what happened to "Will you go to prom with me?" It worked just fine for so many years) from my first YA love - Phoenix from The Violet Eden Chapters. (Embrace / Entice / Emblaze / Endless / Empower)

Phoenix (aka Jared Leto) and I will be arriving to prom in a 2019 Jaguar F-Type (I went all out with the customization on this car and it's a measly $135,000). My dress is a Belle inspired gown designed and created by Nephi Garcia of Designer Daddy Studio fame (seriously, you need to check out his Instagram).
