Prom Asking Ideas

Asking for a date just isn't what is used to be...especially if you live in Utah! At times the "ASKING" can be just as costly, if not more, than the date itself.  

My goal for this segment was to share some ideas that are still within the creative ways, but be inexpensive enough that there is  money left over to actually go on the date! LOL ;)

Here is a link for ideas listed below http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1PiwPQMcTg

Also...how about asking for a date on live tv?  Thanks to 4 brave volunteers, they made this great idea become a reality http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBE7Yw7vmng
