We begin with a “Lifetime” story: Prom dates Mike and Mona went their separate ways after graduating from Irvington High School, but stayed friends — and went to each other’s weddings. Little did they know that, in 2017, they both would be getting remarried — to each other. of

Pink was apparently in style in the mid-1970s. Michael Philbrook shared this picture. His white jacket and pink boutonnière complemented his date’s dress quite well. of

We can all relate to the prom photo with our friends and their dates lined up. In this picture, (from left) Juan José Osuna High School’s Alvin Figueroa, Vilma García, Agnes Marcano and José Fábregas. of

What a gentleman! Kim Herrod says just before her senior prom her longtime boyfriend dumped her. That’s when she asked one of the most popular boys at Garinger High School to go with her, and he said yes! They had a blast — and even dated for a few years. of

Lincoln-Way High School student Kathleen Konkel Zwart remembers senior prom night like it was yesterday. She even recalls the theme: Magical Mystery Tour. of

High school sweethearts Roy and Pat Moore are still together today! Not long after this photo was taken at the Florence High School prom, the couple got married. They will celebrate their 48th wedding anniversary in September. of

Love at first sight. Carl and Karen Rago went to Carl’s junior prom together and just marked their 44th year as husband and wife. Karen says this prom at Cherry Hill High School East was also extra special because her mother made her coat for it. of ADVERTISEMENT of

We all remember a picture like this. Prom night usually began with a photo session at your house — before everyone headed out for their big date. of

As a senior in high school, Donna Old told us, she made her own dress for prom night. of

Remember the old pop-up backdrops that schools used? They looked right at the time, but never seemed to shine in the prom photos. Marguerite Harris says all she remembers about prom night at Steelton-Highspire High School was anticipation! of

How about this couple! Amy Fraade Kadori is wearing a long white dress with gloves, and Ken Schwartz has a matching jacket. Amy says her only regret about this night — not keeping that dress. of
Long lost love
