When the School Prom Goes VC‑Mode: A TikTok Tale
For lots of high‑schoolers, prom is the crowning moment of their school life. But one school’s official plans fizzled out when Covid rules lingered a bit too long, prompting the annual dance to be officially cancelled. Thankfully, a squad of bold students decided it was time to roll up their sleeves and take charge.
How They Did It
- Venue: Furama Riverfront Hotel
- Students: 117 dim‑dazzling attendees
- Budget: Roughly $9,000 (including a DIY photo booth)
- Activities: Games, a stage show, and plenty of photo‑op moments
Cheyenne, a TikTok star who posted on Nov 22, proudly shared a clip of the night’s festivities, declaring it “went well” and saying, “We did it ourselves!” The footage shows a glittery crowd, a photo booth that looked like a professional studio, and dozens of classmates performing on stage.
Behind the Scenes
In a second TikTok post, Cheyenne took viewers on a “glamour tour” of her pre‑prom prep: from hair to nails to lashes that would make any runway star jealous. She also offered a behind‑the‑scenes sneak peek of the committee meetings that brewed since September.
The caption read: “Has been a hectic ride but I’m feeling so empty now that it’s over,” plus a heartfelt thank‑you to every committee member who supported the event.
Challenges & Triumphs
Not everything was smooth sailing. Cheyenne admitted a “conflict with teachers and students,” but the catch‑phrase was that “it all worked out”. She finished with a bittersweet note: “Thankful to everyone who came for cooperating with us. And that marks the end of my secondary school journey.”
Netizens flocked to the comments, cheering the team for their initiative and saying their effort deserved a standing ovation.
Cheyenne’s Prom Power Play
Looks like Cheyenne didn’t just dance for fun. A fellow netizen spotted her picking up hidden gems—think event planning and vendor management—all while throwing that prom.
What Skills Did She Acquire?
- Event planning – From deciding on a theme to choosing the perfect playlist.
- Vendor management – Coordinating caterers, decorators, and the entire crew without a hitch.
No Prom, But Not Alone
It turns out Cheyenne’s school isn’t the only one that’s gone quiet for this year’s prom. A handful of students from different schools said they’re in the same boat, and at least one tried to organize a wild night on their own, only to hear a firm “no” from the admin office.
What Students Are Saying
- “We had a plan, all ready to dance, but the school put a stop sign in front of everything.” — Anonymous student
- “It’s like we’re on a deserted island and the prom is a mythical creature we’ll never see.” — Another student
- “We’re still hoping for a surprise, but so far, the school’s response is a flat denial.” — Unidentified student
How Students Are Coping
Instead of sulking, many are turning to creativity—crafting virtual dance parties, planning themed photo shoots, or just enjoying a night in with friends. If your school’s costume inventory is empty, you can still have a good laugh with a homemade cape or a glittery tie.
Bottom Line
While a traditional prom might be off the table, the spirit of celebration can still ripple through the halls. Come on, let’s keep the dance floor alive—whether it’s real or emoji‑filled!
Who Says Wedding Photos Have to Be Studio Chic?
Singaporean couple, Marissa & Nathan, didn’t settle for a bland backdrop. They rolled back the clock and hit the same secondary school where their story began.
Can you imagine the same halls, lockers, and that legendary cafeteria that served more milkshakes than prep work? That’s the setting for their vintage prom wedding shoot.
Photo‑Shoot Highlights
- Classic swing doors for a nostalgic hallway buzz.
- Desk tags turned into fresh wedding invitations.
- Co‑star: The principal, because who doesn’t love a surprise cameo?
- “Swipe right” crowds featuring teachers, classmates, and even the school bus driver—those lunch‑time beats add local flavor.
Why It Matters
Love is timeless, just like those old lockers. Couple’s photos prove that the best moments can happen anywhere, especially where you first felt like a shy freshman. And let’s be real: who wouldn’t want a picture of their big day in the groovy hallway that used to echo with the sounds of lockers slamming?
