Embarrassing

At my prom last year, I thought it was gonna be amazing, like everyone thinks before the big night. I was almost dateless because I asked my boyfriend to go with me, but two weeks before prom, he broke up with me, so I took my best guy friend. So, after taking pix, we all went out to eat at this really fancy restaurant... we walk in the room where we would be eating, and I saw my ex-boyfriend and his group of friends there... turns out the prom at his school was the same night as mine. It just made my entire night horrible. After prom, I was planning on sleeping over at my best friend's house. I told my parents... and they said they talked to her parents and they said the parents didn't want us sleeping at her house. Turns out, my parents made that story up and just didn't want me staying out all night.

I was dancing with my boyfriend - we were on a houseboat - and we were on the top deck and he kissed me, so I kissed him back, and we really started almost making out and my principle showed up right then. I was mortified.

This was supposed to be the best night of our lives but it wasn't. What happened to us was we had our dresses but we hadn't seen each others so when we go to take pictures with our dates we end up having the same dress on. It was mortifying!!!!! So I (Erin) was standing with my back turned to Candace's date and he grabbed me and spun me around and kissed me thinking I was Candace because we had the same dress on and we both have blonde hair!!!!!!! So Candace was mortified, so she punched me and I ripped her hair-do out! And both of our dresses ripped because we had just gotten in this big brawl and we are laying on the ground totally exposed! And our friend who was taking pictures with us is on the yearbook staff and came by and snapped a few shots that ended up being highlighted throughout the yearbook! It was TERRIBLE!! SO EMBARASSING!!!! I hope next year me and Candace will go shopping together and not end up with the same dress and fighting over it with the end result of lying naked on the ground!

Last year for prom I wasn't feeling very confident about my chest so I went out and bought one of those water bras to enhance what I had. That night by bf came to pick me up and pinned my corsage on my dress. Later that night I walked into the bathroom to check my makeup and there was this wet spot on my dress. I thought that I may have just spilled water on it. Later on that night my best friend asked me what that huge spot was on my dress. I walked back into the bathroom and the spot had grown!!! It turns out that when my bf pinned my corsage on it had put a hole in the bra!!! The stuff in the bra was pretty much vegtable oil and it left a horrible stain on my dress that won't come out!

I was late to the prom because my date never showed up so i drove myself to the prom. As I was walking in the door, my date ran up behind me apologizing. Not noticing he stepped on my dress, i walked forward and it ripped. i thought i could get by with it but to make matters worse, when i got some punch, i spilled it all over the front of my $250 white dress. As i walked to the dance floor after 20 minutes of scrubbing my dress, i fell and my dress ripped even more. There I was lying on the floor, my brand new thong showing...Everyone laughed so i ran away from them and drove home. My mom still teases me to this day.

I had the perfect dress, the only problem was that i couldn't wear a bra! I was talking to my friend about it and she told me just to stick some sholder pads over my boobs, so i did! I thought it was the perfect, cheap idea... but i was wrong! When I was dancing i wasn't paying attention and the pads had drifted up and were showing! i didn't realize until my date told me that he "could see my stuffing."

We were all sittin around the talbes, takin a break from dancing when my freind told me she ahd somin to tell me so as i lend over the talbe my hair fell into the candle and with all the hairspray it coaght on fire, then my date trys to put it out with red punch , and it went all over my white dress...it was the worse day of my whole life i felt like a big loser...i went home at 10:30

Well the whole night was somewhat of a disaster. The reason being is because my date had gotten badly sunburned 2 days before and so The day of the prom and the day before she could not hold much of anything down after she ate it. then I couldn't really touch her. Then to top it all off she spent more or less the whole night with our friends and just kind of left me there to get bored and fall asleep in the middle of the dance.

It was my first junior prom and I was so excited!! I had asked my date Willard if he would go with me like two months before. I had my dress which was so beautiful, it was a lime green and was a turtle neck long sleeve. When prom finally came along we decided we would meet there. He didn't want to eat dinner there so he told me to take Kentucky fried chicken to the prom, so I did. Well I got to the prom and I had the KFC and it turns out it was all a joke and really didn't want to go with me. I started crying and left walking home!! I just left the KFC there and everyone was eating it!!

I was getting ready for prom when I decided to go with no underwear, just my stockings, to give me more comfort. So as we were standing in line to get in, I felt dripping down my leg. I looked down to find out that my cycle kicked in, my white dress was slowly getting a red stain around my no no area. I was so embarrassed I stayed in the bathroom for the rest of the evening untill my mom came to get me.

Two weeks before my junior prom, I decided to try something new and dye my hair, a day after I got a relaxer. WHY WHY WHY did I do that? My hair came out just as I was conditioning. My mother was very upset with me, all I could do was cry. But I got over it, because my hair was always cut short anyway. The thing about it was, I had to wear a wig to prom. I wasn't used to wearing one and I don't think I pinned it on right. So as I went to get something to drink, one of my friends pushed me playing around and knocked my wig off. Right into the punch bowl! And everyone laughed at me and my messed up hair. Some people even said, "now I see why you wear that wig." I called my mother to pick me up, and I cried until she got there. That was the worst month of my life. But this year I look better than ever and I'm nominated for prom queen!

i was talking to one of my best friends and he was telling me how this girl he doesn't like kept hinting at grad and asking him to ask her but he kept making up excuses and apparently that made her really sad, but i've been crushing on him for a while now, just nvr realised it, and then i said, well if we're both single by then y don't we go together but then he was like no, i think i'm gonna go with rebecca instead. I felt so incredibly stupid :(

At my homecomming, I had this really cute date and a nice dress and everything was going fine until dinner. i had this new straplless bra that broke, and i didnt notice until i looked down and i could see my padded bra outline on my stomach (my dress was snug). so i jumped up and literally ran to the bathroom and threw it away. my date thought i was on my period or something because when we got to a friends house he sheepishly asked me if i needed anything special from my purse. i laughed my butt off and said i wasnt having those problems. he still doesnt know why i ran off though.

I was so excited because it was my senior prom. I wasn't able to go to my junior prom because my boyfriend never showed up... And I had bought the cutest white tube top dress! I was so happy because since last year I have lost over sixty pounds and I wanted to show off my curves. Well John, my date, decided that a limo would be the sweetest and most romantic way to take me to my first and only prom. After we got there, my friends met up with me. They were telling me how cute I looked when suddenly I had remembered that I had totally forgotten to bring my feminine products. White dress equals a huge show. It had turned out I was picked for prom queen, and when it was announced... I had to walk up infront of everyone...with a huge blot on my dress... My date wouldn't even let me borrow his jacket. What a jerk.

My prom was great ..... Until after prom.. After prom i was walking up the stairs at my boyfriends house and i tripped on my dress, i thought nothing was wrong untill i noticed that my hand was bleeding because i cut my hand when i tripped and had to go get stitches, When we were leaving to go to the hospital my dress got stuck in my car door and my Slit in the back of my dress slited all the way up to my butt.... I didn't know what to do when i got to the hospital i had blood all over me with my Butt hanging out.

I was chosen to sing karaoke at my Junior Prom, but I wasn't on key and was embarassed. They chose 8 people, 7 good singers and then there was me. At the end, people clapped, but I think it was because they were glad i'm over.

It was my JR Prom. My date was a sophomore. I had left to go to the bathroom, and when I came back everyone was laughing. I thought they were laughing at me. But what had happened was my date was booty dancing with a friend of mine. And he split his pants from the front to the back. I'm so glad we put down the insurance on his pant, when we rented them.

I had a on a beautiful spaghetti strap dress and I thought I looked great. My date, Max, looked hot too, and I was really phsyched. It turned out I wasn't good enough for Max, so I caught him making out with the all-time slut of the school! And they were on top of each other and feeling each other up too. I was devastated. They were caught red-handed by me, and the slut's date, Josh! So me and Josh dumped punch all over them, and it turns out she was wearing a clingy white dress! Josh and I have been together since!

A group of about 10 poeple all met at my boyfriends house before the prom so we could all go together. His mom decided to take pictures of everyone together so we had to walk downstairs. I started down right after my boyfriend but my dress was too long and I tripped and fell into him, since he was right in front of me. He turned around and hit his friend cuz he thought that his friend pushed me but his friend told the whole group about how I had just feel in front of everyone. The day after the prom my boyfriend broke up with me for one of the girls that was in our group and watched me fall down the steps.

Well I was all hyped up because this was going to be my senior prom and all. So I got this real pretty dress and got this real nice looking hairstyle. My date was supposed to come at 8 and he was late it was now almost ten and i realized he wasn't coming so I decided to go there by my self. When I got there this boy who had a crush on me for 4 years spilled the drink he got for me down the front of my white dress. To make matters worse i saw my date kissing this other girl in the corner. You know I wasn't having that so i went up to him and kicked him in his balls and hit him over the head with my shoe. I got kicked out of the prom and was not allowed to go to the graduation cermony.

When my date came to pick me up, I thought it would be cool to do the dramatic walk down the stairs. You've seen it in the movies I'm sure. Well, on my way down the stairs I was so focused on my date's reaction to my appearance that I wasn't watching my footing and took a longer step then I should have and fell all the way down the stairs! It was awful, my parents ran over to see if I was alright, and sadly I had ripped my dress up one side. I still went to the prom, but I had to explain the rip and the bruise on my forehead to all my friends :( (My date found it quite amusing!)

I went to prom with my best guy friend, but he wasn't much of a date, so I spent most of the night dancing with this other guy. Well, I had just colored my hair the morning of prom, and while I was dancing with this guy and getting all sweaty, my red haircolor got all over his white tuxedo shirt, and he had to pay a fine at the rental place!

I had gotten this really beautiful and classy sort of dress for prom. It was white and it had black felt-like roses all over it. I only tried it on a few times to show my family. The big night arrived and to my suprise, I had black fuzz all over my underarms. It wasn't horribly embarrassing, but I did keep my arms down all night long.

This happened to one of my freinds... My freind had this great dress that had these beaded straps... and she had gotten one of those stick-on bras to wear under it. To start the night off, her bra wouldnt stick, so she duct taped the bra to herself. Then, on the way to prom, she rode with her date and another couple... on the way one of her straps broke, and the beads went ALL over the car, she couldnt re-string them, so they stopped at a store to try to find something to hold the other half of her dress up. At this point they were looking all over the store for some ribbon or something, but couldnt find anything. Finally her date realizes that her purse strap kinda looked like her dress strap, so they bought some scissors and super glue. They cut off her purse strap and super glued it to her dress! The arrived wicked late and almost didnt get to eat the dinner that our school always provides. Halfway through the night her other strap breaks and the beads scatter.. and then because of the extra weaight on the super-glued strap, that one breaks too... soo she ended up super-gluing her dress to her skin! (it wouldnt stay up as a strapless.. it just didnt work...) thank goodness for super-glue!

Last year was my ring dance, and I was really excited! Only problem was, my (now ex) boyfriend was being a total jerk! He wouldn't dance with me, talk to me, or even stand next to me in pictures. I spent the whole eveing with my best friend Jeremy, and when Jeremy hugged me goodbye at the end of the night, the strap ripped on my dress and my left breast flew out! The whole ride home, my date was yelling at me for wearing "a cheap dress." Now Jeremy's taking me to prom... guess I'll have to get a dress with really strong straps ths year!
