Duct tape saved my date & me tons o' ca$h.

There was one gal who's front was cut all the down to her woo-hoo. As I was trying to pull my jaw off the floor, Mr. b couldn't help blurting out, "Look, she has a ferret!"

I’ve never heard that before! It’s funny though, the first dress she had picked out was Mossy Oak with a hunter’s orange lining! (Thankfully, the finer second hand stores in Indy don’t seem to carry those... lol)

What a great story! :-)

I suspect most ladies in that area hang on to such a fine dress for their wedding ;)

[nodumbblonde]

Only shotgun weddings. :P

Bada-Bing! Try the breaded tenderloin! I’ll be here all week! :-D

[cableguymn]

shotgun weddings are the only kind in redneckville..

(I can say that cuz I are one)

It's prom season again, and this year families with teens are expected to spend an average of $1,078 for their child's Cinderella night

What?

I was guilted into going to senior prom. I was told i would be letting the class down if I wasn't there. It wasn't horrible but it was a major waste of time. Cost BTW was under twenty buck. I wore a dress I already had, my date's dad drove us and he gave me a corsage made from roses from his mom's garden.

He was sweet, the prom was boring.
