You look at the top photo and you think, "this looks like an absolutely lovely prom photo. What could be wrong here?" Then it all literally falls apart. The dock specifically. By the time you get to the last photo, this looks like a renaissance painting. Look at the struggle of those in the water, while on the far left a boy clutches his terrified girlfriend. Everyone will hate them for being the only ones left dry. What a story. Too bad it must have ruined most of their proms.
If you want a good excuse to show up to prom in comfortable shoes and clothing, fall into a dock fifteen minutes beforehand. No one will blame you for showing up in sweats, and you'll be comfortable enough to actually dance. It's so tragic when I see girls in big dresses trying to dance, but they can't really do anything other than shuffle.
