Prom dates matching. Options

[fadingcolorsx]

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.
