For many Americans, prom is one of the most memorable rites of passage of our teenage years.
A lot of us have fond memories of getting dressed up and riding in a limousine for the first time, and our prom date holds a special space in our hearts. But for some, their prom date was their first and only true love! Couples online have been sharing pictures of themselves then and now, and we’re getting misty seeing all of these adorable high school sweethearts still making it work all these years later.
