Our grad is on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosieranna Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 We Yanks used to have graduation dances too. At least in my area, they were called baccalaureates. We have a picture of my great-grandmother dressed up to go to hers. She looked pretty. Yay for dates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted May 22, 2009 Author Share Posted May 22, 2009 We have a grad banquet and dance, then next month we have an official grad mass and an official ceremony with robes and diplomas. Except the ceremony part is in a Baptist parish, which kinda annoys me. The mass is in a Catholic church, so I guess it's ok... but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bus Station Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Dates are like big raisins, right? Or do you Canadians have a weird meaning for that, too? jk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 Spoiling all my fun. I have to try to find a corsage now. I have less than a week, and the fabric sample is in my locker at school 'till Monday. Normally I'd just pick a good neutral colour, but the trouble is that this dress turns different colours depending on how the light hits it.

CatherineM Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 You don't want to pick anything in the yellow-orange-red part of the wheel. Pick something on the deep blue to purple to black. Much less likely to clash. White or tan would work, but wouldn't show as well. Pick something deep and dramatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be at a florist, so they can help me, and my mom will stop me from picking something hideous, so I should be able to pick something decent. I also tried on my tux today. Right now they're just letting out the leg a little bit more, and then I'm taking it home. I can literally see my reflection in the rental shoes.

Nihil Obstat Posted May 24, 2009 Author Share Posted May 24, 2009 There will certainly be hundreds of pictures. Anyone who adds me or has me as a friend on FB gets easy access to them because of the implicit permission to share photos. So add me. Otherwise I'll have to figure out exactly how to post my own pictures on this site. I'm not good with tech stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christie_M Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I have no doubt on how many pictures there'll be...of course, knowing you, more then half will be just of you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
