Sweaty palms, clear skies, and pollen-related sneezing fits can only mean one thing at BSM. You guessed it: it’s prom season. As per tradition, Winston is tracking down the most hilarious, elaborate, and unique promposals in this special feature. Join us as we relive this month’s highlights as the BSM community gears up for a night to remember.
That Suits Me Fine
John Becker → Chrystel Uy
Prom season officially kicked off when John Becker executed a promposal that was sure to gain the seal of approval from Suits fans everywhere. But, there was only one fan he truly wished to impress: Chrystel Uy. Nearly all of Year 12 gathered in the library to witness him get down on one knee to re-enact Mike’s proposal to Rachel. He accompanied his well thought-out speech with hand-drawn posters, flowers, and a box of chocolates that earned John a “yes” from the pleasantly surprised Chrystel. Needless to say, it was a more than suitable way to set the bar high for other aspiring promposers.
Alex Giles → Ella Lee, Julian Bernas → Alex Hirooka
This two-in-one account details how best friends Ella Lee and Alex Hirooka were surprised with clever puns, free food and a ticket to prom (AKA the magic formula).
Alex Giles made the first move on Ella Lee. He surprised her in Cluster F, carrying a shoebox. Ella opened it to find protein bars, and the words “Promtein: So Ella, is it a Yes, or No Whey?” written on the lid. As if that weren’t enough to crack a smile, he accompanied his humourous promposal with a bouquet of white carnations that gained him a yes from the tremendously delighted Ella.
Julian Bernas took a slightly different approach, crafting what he referred to as a “chicken nugget bouquet.” He offered Alex Hirooka not one, but two bouquets: one of white roses and one of nineteen McDonalds chicken nuggets, telling her that he would be “one lucky nugget” if she accepted. He ended his promposal with an interactive twist - wearing a t-shirt with check boxes that read “Yes” or “McNo” and providing Alex with a Sharpie. Check the picture below for her answer. (Hint: She was lovin’ it!)
Daphne Rocke → Alvaro Gemperle
Why should the boys get to have all the fun? Daphne certainly didn’t think they should. She crafted a simple yet witty promposal for Alvaro that started out with a metal owl in a small box that said “Owl-d like to know…” followed with a little piece of paper that popped the question. Further encouragement came in the form of a shoebox (this seems to be a recurring theme) containing a pair of Nike Flyknits that read, “Yea, let’s just do it.” After all her efforts, I think it’s safe to say that Daphne was delighted she wouldn’t be attending prom sole-o.
Chuckie Borromeo → Maddie Go
Anticipation brewed in the cafeteria as Chuckie waited nervously for Maddie Go to finish her meeting. It was perfectly planned to look as natural as possible: Chuckie had printed out short ‘quizzes’ for his group of friends to do at breaktime.
When Maddie handed in her quiz, Chuckie exclaimed that he’d made a mistake - he’d written the wrong question! He then flipped over a clipboard he was holding to show Maddie the right one: “Prom?” The entire refectory cheered as Chuckie got down on one knee and presented Maddie with a rose. Needless to say, she gave him the answer he wanted to hear.
