Extreme Promposals, a Q&A with Luke Domer and Sam Helm
April 21, 2017
The term “promposal” has been coined by millennials to describe an act beyond simply asking the question, “Will you go to prom with me?” Promposals have reached a new level of grandeur in the recent years; ranging from a clever poster to buying a puppy for a potential date. Here are the perspectives seniors Luke Domer and Sam Helm have on promposals.
Who did you prompose to, and how did you do it?
Luke: I promposed to my girlfriend Lillian McAfee, who goes to North, and I wrote “Lillian, prom?” on the sign at Night Moves.
Sam: I stood “naked” on her porch and held a sign that said “I’m not putting my clothes on until you say yes to prom.”
What gave you the idea for your promposal?
Luke: I didn’t really have ideas for a promposal, but my dad owns Night Moves and his signs are always a big hit, so I asked him if I could use his sign and he said yes.
Sam: I found the idea online.
How much did your proposal cost, if anything?
Luke: It didn’t cost anything!
Sam: Nothing!
Do you feel like there is pressure put on people to have crazy promposals?
Luke: I don’t think there is much pressure. I had no idea what to do, but I knew I had to do something kind of big because all my friends had. Lillian wouldn’t have cared, but I did one anyway.
Sam: You definitely have to find something good; but it’s fun.
