This adorable couple lives just a block from each other. When their school pulled the plug on its Roaring ’20s-themed prom, their moms got to work, placing catering orders and online-ordering their way to Jazz Age ambiance.
At first, when coronavirus didn’t look like the wrecker of social lives that it has become, the Palm Beach, Florida, mom of two figured she'd host her son and a group of fellow seniors at her house if the event got canceled. Then stay-at-home orders and social distancing kicked in and the invite list shortened — significantly.
“She was determined we’d have a prom our senior year and keep everybody safe at the same time,” Dominick said. While Grosso directed production, Paige’s mom, Renee Houck, an assistant principal at the high school, took over catering. At Paige’s request, Italian takeout from Basilico’s was secured. A chocolate and vanilla sheet cake declaring Prom 2020 in Royal Palm’s trademark blue and black was ordered and a photo of the couple planted prominently atop the icing.She was the girl in the neighborhood he was crushing on in seventh grade.
On the big night, timed to coincide with what would’ve been the big night at some swanky venue, the couple, family in tow, headed to Palm Beach at sunset for their prom photo session — first round with masks on. “The only people we see is each other,” said Paige’s father, Leroy Houck, who, along with Dominick’s mom and dad, works for the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office. “We are fortunate to have an extended family of sorts.”
Across the country, roughly 3.7 million students have seen their high school senior events turned upside down by the pandemic. And more than a few have successfully improvised. Actor John Krasinski hosted a virtual Prom 2020 for his YouTube show Some Good News.
