First he had to ask his date. He came up with a creative way to ask her. He took cupcakes and used suckers to make flowers. On the flowers he wrote "Will you go to homecoming with me Megan". Then he had a lone cupcake and on the top he wrote "eat me". Inside he had his name wrapped up in foil. Sunday Bennett went home with her dad a little early from church. Bennett set them up on her table so when she came home from church she had her surprise.
That same night she brought over a cake for Bennett with "yes" written on top.
Then came the "mum". What is a mum. Well it was always a flower to me. But as everything is bigger in Texas (This is a southern tradition not just Texas). There is this great, fun tradition of making mums for homecoming. They are not cheap. Bennett made his. They exchange mums before the homecoming football game day. They wear them to school, the game and then to the dance. They have so many bells on them that the school jingles all day before the game. He bought the supplies and here he is set up to get to work.
Even Bailey was put to work. She decided to take a few scrapes and make her own.
The final product. She is a senior. As a senior you make it in golds and white. This is called a triple mum because it has 3 flowers on the top. Lots of ribbon. Other grades you make them with school colors.
Bennett's garter mum he received. Ready for game day.
Ready to leave for dance. They all brought a change of clothes. They went to dinner, the dance, and then went bowling until midnight.
These are the couples that went together.
