With a successful Friday night football game in the books, it was time to move on to part 2 of Homecoming Weekend - the high school dance on Saturday night. This was Connor's very first time attending a dance with a date, and of course, the kids like to go all out on making sure it's a night to remember. Connor and his date, Marie, were pretty low key about the dance but the Moms were there to make sure they were ready for their big night. Dress, shirt, pants, tie, belt, shoes, hair, flowers, dinner reservations, transportation with driver, outdoor setting for photos, dance tickets, and the list goes on and on. So many details to pull off this one night! But it was finally here and Connor sure looked the part. He was officially ready for his special date.
Jeff and I drove Connor to pick up Marie and then take them to a local restaurant for some dinner before the dance. Marie looked gorgeous! The careful planning between Marie's mom and I ensured that their outfits coordinated beautifully, and the two of them looked so cute and comfortable together despite some nerves they may have been feeling. We took quite a few photos of the pair together, and then headed to the restaurant where they met some friends for dinner. Jeff and I decided to grab a bite to eat as well while we waited on the foursome.
After their quick dinner, we drove to a nearby spot for some obligatory Homecoming photos of Connor, Marie, and another couple. We were one of many groups in the same area but it was fun to capture the kids in some pretty pictures to celebrate their fun night. The funniest part of the photos was the initial picture requested by Connor and Marie to capture an awkward pose. They thought it would be funny to pretend that they were feeling awkward and uncomfortable, so this is the photo they ended up sharing on their social media. Ha!
The reality is that they weren't uncomfortable at all. In fact, they were having a great time together and couldn't have been any cuter in their couple and group photos. Looking great!!
They were all smiles after the photos but ready for the main event at the nearby school convention center. By the end of the night, all reports were that it had been so much fun and they all really enjoyed the dance. It was a memorable first date for Connor, and we were thrilled that it had turned out to be such a success!
The winner for my favorite photo of the night was this one. What fun memories these two had made for their sophomore year of Homecoming!
