I've got a black suit-like outfit, and his is also black. Seriously I need some prom ettiquette (sp?) help so that I don't make an ass of myself.

if you look presentable you'll be good to go. its one night-a couple hours-what you have in those pics are fine. maybe get or borrow a different tie to to have it contrast a little.
if you be your self and act how you would if it was your prom, or you invited him then you'll be set. dont do anything to draw unnecessary attention to yourself (get drunk, try to be comical...)
he didnt ask you to join him cause of your style of dress, he asked you cause you're you-so just be yourself.
bring wireless laptop incase you need advise mid way through!!
enjoy

you might be the topic of gossip that night, whether you like it or not...
but as long as you are polite in front of the parents, that's all the matters...

I'll just be myself but tone down the crude remarks that tend to make people laugh. Unless of course his parents start talking like that. Then it's open season.

One of you should definitely pick the other up. I don't know how to decide that with two guys, but I'll leave that up to you.... on second thought, whoever has the nicer car should pick the other one up IMHO. Just relax you should enjoy prom

Make sure you contact the florist ASAP, I am thinking they will need a weeks notice. I am going to Ottawa with a friend who is going to a prom with a girl there and they were discussing the whole weeks notice for the flowers.

You eat as the ceremony goes on, where they show slideshows and videos compiled by the students of what a fun year it was and highlights of the year. There's usually a couple of speeches, and by the time this is all over, everyone is finished eating. The parents stay at the tables while the kids go off to dance on the dance floor. The school rented the Shaw Conference Centre (a HUGE building for functions) for this. They must make a killing at $50 apiece tickets.
my prom was just drinkin people waiting to get even drunker at the after party

The price of the afterparty is covered in the main ticket, but for that extra money they hire a 3 or 4 medics/nurses (usually military-in-training) who have a little tent full of gear and a satellite phone ready in case they need to call the ambulance. They stay there all night and make sure nobody gets hurt. The after party is pretty official, but the location stays unannounced. The bus leaves and takes you to the location while the parents stay at the grad until we all leave. Then they announce the location to the parents. You aren't allowed to bring cell phones or pagers either (they check before you get on the bus). The reason for all this is to prevent party crashers or friends calling their friends who didn't have tickets.

, I have $110 left, that's it. We're spending some of that on bouttoniers and pocket squares. I get paid the day of (thursday) with $2800, so the actual date I don't have to worry about. I'm picking my date up in my 1996 Acura 2.5TL.
And we will have fun! I'm excited. I just talked to him today and we're going to pick up our accessories (and a new tie for me) on Tuesday.

I dunno man, i got my tux for 80 this year. Looked exactally the same as the $150 tuxes my friends got. Just gotta shop around alittle. I'd check and see if you have a Men's Wearhouse in your area

I don't know if I would spend a great portion of his money on a tux. If this guy asked him out, I don't think he really needs to worry about impressing him much further. I wouldn't ask someone to the prom I didn't want to 
is all I am saying.

I think the tux idea is over-rated as it is, especially with the other guy asking him out. You're there just to make him happy, no need to worry about what you look like or what you're wearing.
Go and have as much fun as possible, it is only you two that you need to make happy.

Unfortunately I had a little accident today though. I tripped on my brother's shoe and fell down the stairs. It very severly bruised my left foot (from the baby toe all the way to the ankle) on the left half of the foot. It hurts a fair bit, but I suspect it will go down. If it doesn't, I'll down some painkillers on Thursday and tough it out (and therefore not drink since painkillers + ethanol =
)My mom isn't too keen on the idea that he's 18, but I said screw it, you and dad are 2 years apart. This is only 3 years for me apart. It's not a huge age gap. I really hope I'm alright by thursday. Thankfully my dress shoes are extremely comfortable. For some reason they're more padded than my athletic shoes

Well, good news, my foot is better! AND the date is today!! In 7 hours! I'm picking him up in 6 hours. My mom is still all pissy that I'm going and refuses to talk to me much. Oh well. She wouldn't even help me with my hair this morning (and she's a stylist). I don't see what's so wrong about going on a date with someone approximately 3 years younger?
Parents are crazy.
Anyway, I got my expense cheque today for $231.20, and my pay of $2600, so money won't be a problem during the even if we want a little booze hehe. Actually I have a feeling Cam's dad is going to try and get his own son drinking. I met him the other day and he seems like one of "those" dads. Or maybe he's only like that because his son asked another guy to the prom, and he's thinking, "well, it can't get any worse, might as well have fun and throw parenting out the window now"

Dude, you are SO FUCKING CUTE. I love you. I want you to be my new gay friend (since my old gay friend turned semi-straight).
Have a BLAST tonight, babe. I love this. I wish I'd seen this thread sooner... but I'm sure you'll be fine.
