The fourth showed his face should she decline his invitation.

A woman driving by reported the posters to Burke Patch. "Very cute idea.  They made me smile on my way to the store," she said.

Lake Braddock's prom is on June 8, so this young man is thinking ahead.  We hope she says yes, and that they have a great evening.  If we hear the outcome, we'll let you know!
