remember that one time we had the greatest idea ever?

yeah.

so last year (my freshman year) at BYU, there was a night of 4 different preference dances (girl asks guy). each had a different theme and each was going to be really cool! there was a dr. seuss theme, a harry potter theme, a pride & prejudice theme, and a great gatsby theme. my 3 good friends and I decided to be awesome and ask our guys out in the coolest way ever. one of them had the brilliant idea of using a photobooth to do the asking! so all of us (except 1 cuz she couldn't make it) went to the mall and did just that:

(we actually had to make mel's at home cuz she couldn't come to the mall... but it looks real huh?? I don't have the other girls' pics..)

cutest idea ever, right?! but oh no.. it doesn't end there!

then we made an amazing scavenger hunt. we wrote out 4 awesome riddles and printed them and made them super cute. the riddles would lead our guys from the dorms, to pizza hut, to dairy queen, to campus.... where they'd eventually find a bag of candy and our photobooth pictures asking them the ultimate question.

but then.... rochelle suddenly had a funeral in canada to go to.

and really, that wasn't the problem. dude, if you've got a funeral to go to... you've got a funeral to go to! I figured the rest of us girls could still do it. we had put so much effort into this and it was going to be awesome!!

but then....

slowly...

the other girls backed out.

and it never happened.

yep. that is truly the end of this pitiful story. to this day I am still sad and bitter that we never did it, and I think they might finally be realizing how awesome it could have been.

so that's the story of the most awesome preference-asking-out that never happened. everytime I see that picture show up in my desktop slideshow... my heart aches a little. oh the fun it could have been....

oh, and the photobooth pic in my blog header was from that same night. <3

the end.
