OK...then what? Does the guy take the garter off? What does he do with it? Do most girls have their garter on their thigh? I know when I got married I kinda pulled mine down to right above my kneed before my hubby took it off. None of that whole head under the skirt for me! We might get freaky in the bedroom, but I ain't doing it for the whole world to see! Did I just say that???

Oops, I am late. I guess I didn't read the all of the replies. The pictures I was referring to were already posted.

Shoot even today, 12 years later, if my mom saw pics of my prom from '93 and it looked like that - I would still get a beat down.

Beatdowns have no expiration dates in her opinion.

Just call little btb Rapunzelniqua 'cause she won't be going to her prom if it's anything like that.

Help me out Marie. Is the garter ceremony at the prom like the one at weddings? What is the purpose? I can't imagine some horny high school guy being able to put his hand up some girl's dress and make it classy, but that's just me!

Tony & MaMaBuddah...handle yours!! I know that is right!

LOL!! Yes, it is very similar to the ceremony at a wedding, but it is supposed to be more toned down as it is for high school students (no head under the dress, no taking it off w/the teeth). After the garter is taken off, the guy usually wears it around his bicep (at least they did at my school). Now that I think about it, I'm not sure what the point of it is at the high school level or how it became a tradition. It's just something that we considered a part of the night when I went to prom.

He was a friend. I actually had a boyfriend but I promised him he could take me a year in advance...I don't break promises.

How much did your prom cost? Some proms now have ish prices?
An ex had bought me that necklace. My mom made my dress, did my hair and makeup, and made my corsage and his boutinerre *sp. So...all I paid for were my shoes and my earrings, so not that much. How much he paid....who knows.

LMAO at this one in particular.
I had forgotten about this thread... It's reminding me of the True Life: I'm Going to Prom or whatever it was called where that girl had that dress made and it was a mess!

Same thing in Warrensville Hts., Ohio. I did it in 1993 and I know it was done before then and after. It was just tradition. I do know several guys who took it off with their teeth. Most guys did the bicep thing that night and later put it on their rearview mirror.

I so feel you on that. My father took a picture of the limo driver for the same reason for my Jr. Prom! I just shook my head and got in the car...

I went to an all girls school & for my senior prom we had garters but not the ceremony. I just handed my date the garter and left it at that. I didn't even do it at our wedding, never even bothered to get one.

Me and my mom got in a discussion on my jr prom dress. The back opened to about the top of your bra hooks and she was like "oh no it won't be that deep. So mine wasn't that open in the back.

None of those chicks are cute in the pics..somebody is not doing their job of keeping their daughters off the pole!

[Did you go to your prom?COLOR=royalblue]Yup. I went to 2 proms senior year (mine and my boyfriend at the time went to another school)[/COLOR]
What did you wear? Colors?
I wore these 2 beautiful dresses. Both were black. Both were fitted. One had this beautiful see through train with embroidery around the front and back (the back was out). The other was more fitted with slits above the breast. (I just sold those dresses about 2 years ago) They were HOT! They were my second choice. My first choice was teal and it was being made but the dress was unravelling as it was being made! It was a disaster!
Were you prom king/queen?
Didn't care to be Did not run for it.
Did you go with someone special or friend?
I went with my boyfriend. We stayed t/g for 7 years afterwards.
What was your prom theme?Good question. I do not remember! That was over 10 years ago!
How much did your prom cost? I don't remember, but I know it was no where near what the price is today! I think tickets at that time had to be around $1-200
