Prom dates matching. Options

So, I don't know if people in other states do this, but here in Jersey it seems like it's a necesity for the guy to match his date's dress. Example, my dress is like a baby blue type of color, and prom date is going to match it. Is it really that big of a deal to match? If you ask me, my date could throw on an all black tux and throw on a baby blue tie and I'd be fine. Heck, I'd be fine even if he had no blue on. And, I don't want him to spend too much money, because he's going to three proms this year-- mine, his, and another girl's prom at another school. It's only my Junior prom, too, so I'm not going to be as decked out as others will be.

^yeah, and it also looks better in photos and things when you and your date match. although it looks really tacky when some couples match down to their shoes, but what you mentioned sounds just right (that's what i had my date do-i wore a gold gress, and he had a gold tie)-that way, your date can also save money, if he just changes ties and doesn't buy/rent different suits for each prom.
