What about me?

Each spring, smooth teens risk their entire social existence in an attempt to ask that special someone to prom. Some take it to the extreme. Others take it to the zoo.

Fayetteville, Arkansas, student Trey Coulter attempted to ask Gabriella Foster to prom at the Wild Wilderness Drive Through, while standing in front of two very curious giraffes.


"It might be a stretch but it would giraffe me crazy if we couldn't go to prom?" Coulter's poster read as a very skilled photographer perfectly captured the jealous giraffes interrupting the moment.

It seems as if the curious giraffes were just trying to smell the bouquet of flowers Foster was holding. Either that or they really wanted to go to prom. 

Regardless, Foster seemed less than enthused with her new friends, later tweeting that she thought her life was in danger. 

But Coulter managed to keep his perfect smile throughout the entire interaction, making us believe that she probably said yes.

We reached out to Foster for more info, and we'll update this post when we hear back. 

UPDATE: April 20, 2016, 6:49 a.m. EDT Foster tells us that she indeed did say yes.
