Teen brings his 92-year-old great grandmother to prom and the duo steals the spotlight
High school life will never be complete without prom night.
Students are excited about enjoying a night with their friends, and going to the dance with their dates. It is one of the most awaited highlights in high school.
However, not all students are lucky enough to find the perfect date for the prom.
Dakota Wollan, a high school senior from Watford City, was worried he would not be able to find a date for prom in time. He asked for advice from his dad who came up with the best idea.
He realized that Madeline Miller, Dakota’s great-grandmother, had never attended prom and it was the perfect opportunity for her to go to one. And Dakota was looking for a date, so it all worked out!
When Dakota heard of this idea, he found it interesting and was not negative about it.
He gave the idea thought for a moment and ultimately decided to take his beloved great-grandmother to prom.
He welcomed the idea and felt that it was a good way for him to enjoy the night and make his great-grandma’s dream come true as well. Of course, an invitation to prom should be memorable so he prepared a special way to invite Madeline.
An unforgettable invitation
The 92-year-old had no idea that Dakota has prepared a cute proposal just for her. A special lady needs a special invitation, right?
Dakota had an old truck given by Madeline which he repaired and it run again. He placed a sign on it saying “Can I take you to prom in this old truck?”
Madeline was moved by Dakota’s sweet gesture.
The elderly woman has missed the chance to attend prom, and when she saw the sign written on the truck she gave to Dakota, her heart swelled with joy. She accepted the invitation and was happy to be her great-grandson’s prom date.
“I was just wondering why he would want a 92-year-old going to prom with him when there are so many young girls in the school,” Madeline told KFYR.
Dakota was happy that she said yes. He was somehow nervous that Madeline would decline the invitation.
“If she would have said no, I wouldn’t have gone, so thanks to her I got to make a memory for my last prom and her first prom,” he said.
Going to prom with her great-grandson was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Truly, you never get another chance to go to prom, and Dakota going to it with his great-grandma means he got to share the unforgettable experience with one of the most important women in his life. Madeline, on the other hand, is ecstatic to have gotten to experience the event at her age.
She could not remember if there was even a prom back in the day. She is just glad to have had a great night with her beloved great-grandson.
On the night of the prom, the duo definitely stole the spotlight as they danced the night away.
