A Prom Tag? OH, NO!!!

My sweet friend, Carrie, at Carrie's Little World tagged me with this utterly embarrassing PROM TAG! Oh, what a stinker she is! Now, the only good part about it, if there truly is such a thing, is that I shared my prom picture recently, so it shouldn't come as a big shocker to most of you.

Here I am with my prom date, Eddie. We dated for two solid years in high school. I wasn't too happy with him the night of our prom because he came in clothes that were totally mismatched. The pants were his, the jacket was a friend's, and the VERY LARGE shirt was his father's. He didn't even wear a tie! Oh, no, he had to expose his St. Christopher medalion for the whole world to see! LOL! That look on his face spells misery...at least I was able to squeeze out a smile! I'm going to have to think read hard about whether or not I'm going to reveal the actual year the photo was taken. Maybe I'll conveniently "forget" all about it! LOL! Of course, with the way my brain operates these days, that might very well be the case. So, let me just say that it was the time when disco was alive and well, and Duran Duran was a big favorite of many.

Now, any guesses as to who's in this next picture? Well, I did a "google" search on Eddie and found out that he's currently a tennis pro in Arkansas. This is the picture of him that was on the website of the country club where he works... When I showed it to Chris, his exact words were, "Boy, you sure hit the jackpot when I came along!" Trust me, that's his typical "sassy" response! Someone's a little stuck on himself, wouldn't you say?

Now, I warned Chris that I was going to show HIS prom picture for all to see! No way was I going to disappoint you! :) Well, here it is in all it's glory! Look at what a peanut he was as he stood next to his date, Kelly. He said he weighed about 112 lbs! He'd asked her to go to the prom with him about a week after she broke up with someone else. He said that when they got to the prom, she saw her ex-boyfriend there alone and started bawling. She, basically, dumped Chris to reunite with her ex! Isn't that awful? Their theme was "Stairway to Heaven", but it was a night he'd rather forget!
Ok, here are the rules:

❶ Leave me a comment guessing which year this photo was taken...(yes, the wrong guess might hurt our friendship...LOL...totally just kidding!) I will post the correct year in a few days after a few guesses come in...how fun! Hmm, on second thought, maybe not! :)
❷ If I TAG you...dig up your old prom picture...post it and let's guess the date, too. If you really are that self-conscious and don't want us to know the date...maybe we can guess the decade?. If you are married to your prom date, let us know! If you aren't, try to post a prom picture of your prom and a second picture of your husband's prom. Let us know where each of your dates are now and their relationship status!! (and, of course, YOU are way cuter than his prom date!) If you are single...let us know where your prom date is now!
❸ I am going to TAG some people...and then those taggers need to keep it going by tagging 5 other people! I can't wait to see all of your pictures! Fun huh!?

Alright, though I usually don't like to tag people for fear of leaving others out, I just couldn't pass up the opportunity with this one! So, I'm going to TAG:

Jodi-Green Acres
Pam-Life By The Creek
Lorrie-The View From My Door
Heather-Family Forever
Amy-From The King's Table

Don't let me down, ladies! You can't chicken out...I want to see those treasured photos from yesteryear!
