The senior prom is one of the last chances high school seniors get to hang out with all of their closest friends, boyfriends, and girlfriends before heading off in separate directions for their next adventure.
So when one Lawton, Michigan senior found out her fiancé wasn’t going to make it because he was going to be serving overseas in the US Air Force, she had to get creative to make sure she could share the special night with him. Instead of just going with a friend, 17-year-old Lexi Akerson decided to bring a life-size cardboard cutout of her 20-year-old fiance, Brandon Turner.
“I came up with the idea by joking around with my friends I should take a Fat Head of him to prom since he cannot make it,” Lexi said. “But my friends’ reactions were hilarious, they loved the idea, and thought it was adorable. Especially the parents loved it since he couldn’t be apart of prom, yet he was still here with me…”
At first, Lexi was crushed that her boyfriend of three years wouldn’t be able to make it to her prom, but she knew she would be seeing him soon when she moves to England after graduation to be with him. To make the best of the situation, she brought Brandon’s cardboard cutout to prom, and even danced with it and posed for pictures together.
