dylan's sr prom: la vie en rose [pic heavy]

So last night was Dylan's Sr Prom and with all of it's ups and downs, the night was still pretty amazing.

We met at around 5 at the venue (the Julia Morgan Ballroom @ the Merchants' Exchange) for pre-shoot pictures. Let's just say our pose was, cute. You'll see soon when we get the prints. Of course there was much of the typical "OMG you look so good *pictures*," so after about half an hr we made it out of the venue and headed to dinner.

On our walk we ran into Dylan's friend, Mick, almost literally. And then we finally made it to our restaurant, it's located in this cutty looking alleyway but inside it's gorgeous and quite...fancy for a lack of a better word. (BIX) The food was great. We ordered mini lamb burgers as a starter; it was actually my first time trying lamb and to be honest I couldn't really tell haha. The best part was the lobster pasta in lobster cream sauce. Dylan and I split it and I'm glad we did, it was sooooo rich, I would have never finished the whole thing. The lobster was done just right and gosh was it filling.

After devouring our dinner, we walked 2 blocks back towards the venue when we realized we forgot a bag so Dylan went back as I walked slowly behind him. We made it back to the venue about 30mins early and of course there was more of the "OMG you look so good *pictures*."

We finally made it upstairs, the ballroom was on the 15th floor and we were only allowed to have 8 people in an elevator, and had time to take photobooth pics and explore a bit. As usual, there were chocolate fountains and shirley temples. The venue was pretty nice but a bit small.

A few downers of the night was the fact that I lost my panda charm on my camera ): And also this guy stepped on my foot and then instead of apologizing, he denies it. I don't think many have seen this side of me but I pretty much scared the kid into hiding from me the rest of the night.

Besides that the night was incredible and I will definitely miss all my seniors. (:
Overall I had a great night, thanks for asking me Mister Pengda (:

I'm only including pictures of people I know, I did take a bunch more of Dylan and his friends but if you want to see those, they're on my facebook.
