Top 10 most fun promposals of 2017

Prom is just around the corner, and the race is on for high schoolers hoping to accompany their dream date. Long gone are the days of mustering up the courage and blurting out, "Will you go to prom with me?" in the hallway.

Now, it's all about the promposals!

If you happen to be, um, a little bit older, these are elaborately staged requests to be someone's date to a prom. They usually have a theme, are accompanied by a poem and sometimes include a gift.

To quote Mindy Lahiri, "I need you to love me in a way I can show on Instagram."

Here are some of this year's top promposals:
