"As jaded as we Smittenites sound sometimes, these are the tales that melt our icy hearts. Johnston, Iowa Patch reports: Ashley Shay, 17, and Grant Christian, 18, have been friends since they were kids and their parents met in church. While Ashley had fostered a crush on Grant since second grade, and they dated briefly, he was more interested in playing the field. However, he came to his senses and they started going out for real two months ago. Prom was approaching, and Ashley knew she had to pull out all the stops (love her cojones for asking him, too!), so she called Grant&amp;#x27;s dad and asked if she could use the billboard outside the Christian family&amp;#x27;s photo store, where Grant works. So when Grant drove up to the store that afternoon, he was shocked to see the billboard read: &amp;quot;Grant Will you go to JHS prom with me? Love Ash&amp;quot; Here&amp;#x27;s Grant&amp;#x27;s reaction. It&amp;#x27;s adorable. Nice to see that billboards aren&amp;#x27;t always used in bitter breakup wars, right? Do any of you recall a similar prom story in your senior class? More proms and billboards: *Whoa! This Man Is Posing On Billboards With His Mistress! *OMSquee! High School Student Will Take His Great-Grandmother To Prom *Dating FAIL: James Tate Banned From Prom *Want To See Michelle Obama&amp;#x27;s Prom Dress?
