My girl gene is broken and my life is/was extremely abnormal.
My wedding has not been planned since I was 5 and the idea of spending more than $10 on flowers that will die in a week makes me
I never viewed prom as a big deal, yeah it was fun to dress up and do something different but that's about it. My friends were the same way.
I barely remember either prom and it's not something I talked about or thought about much.
My male cousin is 2 years older than me, he went to both proms with girls he was very casual with. I can't remember if he (his mom) bought them corsages, I don't think he did, and I know he didn't get them any sort of gift. He did pay for the limo and tickets though.
I'd guess her son is already spending over $500 on prom ($200-300 for the tickets, at least $200 for the limo, $150 for the tux).
In a way it's cheaper for the girl, at least she has the option to do things cheaper if she wants.
