That's what happened with Reddit user @North_Shore_Problem's friend. She writes that "both 81 and widowed, my friend's grandmother reconnected with her prom date and married him 65 years later." These two really are the definition of timeless love.

We all know how stressful an experience the prom slow-dance is - there are a million questions you have to ask yourself. Where do you put your hands? Which foot belongs to me? How can I do a spin without falling over? Luckily, these two have mastered the moves since they had their prom.

These two in March 2012 and in July 2017 are as adorable as they ever were. What doesn't stay consistent is dance confidence. Look at him dipping her with ease on their wedding day compared to simply standing at prom. Now that's a glow-up.

These two show us two things. The first thing is that they're so cute together and the second thing is that a deep condition is a powerful tool we all should be using. Their hair is as fabulous and moisturized as much as their relationship. Wait, what does a moisturized relationship mean?

Did these two become models after high school? Because they're seriously gorgeous and working the Tyra Banks "smize" in the wedding photo. Their model past is a mystery but one thing's for sure - if they ever have a kid it's going to have fantastic hair.

We're not always photo-ready and prepared with an arsenal of poses to strike when the camera turns on. Sometimes, we're 17 at our senior prom with the girl we really like and we forget how to control our limbs. This groom can attest that it happens to the best of us.

Luckily, he traded his awkwardly hovering hand in the prom photo for a hand placement on the bouquet that looks great. Here's to learning our angles and not letting nervousness mess up our wedding photos. What a cute couple.

All of our proms have had wild themes. Popular repeat offenders are Hollywood, Casino, One Night In Paris, and Under The Sea. The tickets always tell you to dress like you're part of the fantasy but does anyone actually follow the theme aside from the prom committee? Maybe just this groom.

ADVERTISEMENT

Luckily, they traded the lei for a bouquet by the time the wedding came around. "Island Luau In The Sun" might not be the best theme choice for a wedding, so it's good that he didn't hang onto that lei.

Being together with someone means accepting them as they are. That includes supporting their monster truck rally obsession, desire to wear socks with holes in them, and love of giving uncontrollably sloppy smooches. This bride definitely knows that.

ADVERTISEMENT

After years of having her makeup basically squished off her face by her husband, this bride has finally gotten used to the way he shows his affection. It looks like he's learned to reign himself in too. These two are so cute and embody the living and learning we all should be doing.

There's nothing better than marrying the person who loves, supports, and understands your color theory preferences. It's hard marrying someone into cool tones when you're invested in the vibrancy of warm neutrals. Luckily, that's not the case with these two who share the same palette preferences after almost a decade.

Find a spouse who will match their tie to your dress for all occasions - seriously, that's couple goals. Luckily, the groom traded the white tux out because that thing definitely clashed.

We've all met the couple who nails every costume contest or theme get-together that's thrown their way. They'll break out the papier mache, glitter glue, and niche novelty items just to win. This is that awesome couple at the prom and wedding.

ADVERTISEMENT

These two are the ultimate theme-nailers. They heard the prom organizers were using a "Wild West Theme" so they quickly came up with a cowboy hat and all-jean-esque dress that completely nails it. They kept the balling rolling with their adorable destination beach wedding attire too. Yee haw.

We all knew a couple back in high school that dressed to the nines and made us all aspire to be on their level of coordination. While the rest of us were struggling to not put our clothes on inside out, these two were rolling up with matching socks.

They were stylish back at prom and are equally as stylish now. Sporting the red roses, pearls, thin mustache, and pin curls on their wedding day, these two show us that classic glamor really is timeless. Plus, a good black and white filter helps add to the vintage vibe they've got going.

White prom tuxedos seem to have been a big thing back when all of these high school sweethearts were graduating. For a garment that's hard to find and even harder to keep clean, there was definitely a high demand. Hopefully, all these guys brought Tide-To-Go sticks in their pockets.

This adorable couple switched color palettes for their wedding. Maybe they repurposed his white prom tux for her wedding dress, although that's probably not the case. Not many white prom tuxes were spared from permanent red fruit punch stains.

From their first date in 2011 to their wedding day in 2017, these two ladies have been showing us what true love looks like. They're both having so much fun in the photos you'd think they were taken before and after the ceremony.

It's a great sign that things were going well if they took a cute photo together on their first date. Think about all the bad coffee dates you might have been on where your date ranted about their obscure taste in music and a concert they went to last year. Those weren't exactly photo-worthy moments.
