prom

Seb went to his high school prom on Saturday night (juniors and seniors attend one single prom). It was at the Portland Art Museum, a dance (no dinner).

Since he's outgrown Steve's formal wear, and is still growing, we went to Mr. Formal to get a suit and all the fixings (shoes, cufflinks, shirt, tie/handkerchief).

Unlike all other school dances, kids mostly coupled up for prom night. Seb asked his friend Gabi (who used to go to Lincoln, but is now at a different school) with a promposal sign. Apparently it's the thing to do, even when you're asking a nonromantic interest. Pretty cute.

We had a moment checking the fit and figuring out the cufflinks.

Seb gathered with some of the neighborhood guys at Cason's house to get dressed and take photos and carpool together to the pre-prom dinner that one of the families was hosting at their club.

The girls arrived separately and it was so, so cute watching them all figure out the corsages and boutonnieres.

This was a near-stabbing incident. I tried to help, but it kept falling over. Steve finally stepped in.

And then there were photos. So many photos! All the boys, all the girls, everyone together.
