My son is not the party type either. Did not want and still does not want to go to the prom. He prefers for his dad to pay for a ski trip or some "cool" things. His girlfriend is a real sweet beautiful girl. The limo was prematurely rented by one of her close friends months ago. There were 8 of them and were all hoping to have a date to fill the limo. Only two got dates. My son is going just to please his girlfriend. Chivalry is not dead in our house. So, we do not mind paying for his girlfriend. It is $125 per head/$250 per couple to attend the prom at their school. That is why the ride is also so short. I hope the food is good. And since there are only 11 people and they rented a limo that seats 20, the cost is much higher. They told me they cannot cancel. They are trying to fill it but the prom is very close. So, as it stands each person (not couple) has to pay $200. That is $400 for my son and his date. Luckily, his girlfriend paid her part as part of the deposit. Either way, chivalry stops at the ticket.
