These Awkward Prom Photos Will Make You Grateful High School is Over

Back in the late 80s, outdoor prom photos were all about finding a pretty backdrop, but this choice was questionable. The group looks dressed to impress, with pastel dresses full of ruffles and lace paired with bow ties and cummerbunds that matched perfectly. Their smiles are sweet, but it’s impossible to ignore where they’re standing.

One of their dads clearly thought the blooming flowers in the cemetery made for the perfect shot, completely overlooking the headstone right in front of them. The mix of formal outfits, bright smiles, and an unmistakably somber setting makes this photo awkward in the funniest way.
