Prom is about so much more than the perfect outfit, killer beauty looks, and perfect theme. Sure, these are all important components to the perfect, memorable prom night, but it’s what happens before the dance that sets the tone for the evening. Many prom memories start with boyfriends, girlfriends, best friends, and squads popping the question to each other: will you go to prom with me and/or us? As the internet has exhibited, the best promposal ideas are all about creativity, extravagance, and often, ridiculousness.
