Did you save a memento from your first date/your prom/your wedding?

My first actual date was my junior prom, I think. Not that I hadn't had boyfriends before, but we didn't really go on dates. And I've still got my dresses and the pictures, but that's about it. I guess I've got at least one of the pairs of shoes, too. I've got my ring from my wedding. . .and a picture. .
.and my husband. . .and our marriage certificate, somewhere. . .

I didn't go to the prom and I'm not married. I do have some dried flowers from a few other formal dances. As for dates, first and otherwise, I don't really have anything to mark them either.

Got rid of the stuff from the first date, didn't go to prom, and haven't had a wedding.

First date...there's probably a movie stub somewhere. Proms...dried flowers and dresses. Wedding...dress, shoes, flowers, program, table card, cocktail napkin, etc. Oh goodness, it
gets worse as I move along. Imagine what I'll have after the first kid!!!

I have photos from my wedding... I also have the newspaper announcements from my engagement and my wedding. Seems like a million years ago.

I saved the dried wrist corsage from my first prom for years. Lots of momentos from my wedding.

I saved the bouquet and my dress form my wedding. I did not go to my prom. And I can not really remember what my first date was.

Nope. I do have a few photos of my wedding that my mother-in-law took.

I think I still have the flowers from my corsage and my husband's boutonniere from our wedding. I didn't go to my prom and I don't remember my first date.

I have prom pictures and the little booklet thing that had the prom theme, king and queen candidates, etc., from my first prom. I went to my boy friend's senior prom and have a picture of that too, somewhere. My first date was to see the movie The Pink Panther Strikes Again - it was a matinee.I just got married in 2001 so I have tons of mementos from that - plus it's still pretty clear in my mind.

My first "date" was in 8th grade. My mom drove me and a girl to the movies, dropped us off and picked us up after the movie was over. I didn't save any memento's from that occassion other than fond memories of my first successful attempt at "2nd base". My prom (Junior year) was a disaster. The actual prom was only "OK" and afterwards didn't get any better. My Senior prom was quite a bit of fun, with the exception of me not getting... ummm... "lucky". I held the after-prom party at my house and that kept me quite entertained. My wedding... I have numerous mementos from my wedding and I fully expect that I will have those mementos until the day I die.
