Bring a date or go stag: just get yourself to this nostalgic PROM-THEMED wedding

It’s time to relive your high school years (or get a kick-ass REDO!) at this retro-tastic PROM-THEMED wedding. Just to whet your appetite: Christy and Stuart were crowned bride and groom, they wore sashes, roses, and crowns, and even rocked the “surprise” of it all.
