Every high school girl dreams about being asked to the prom by an older boyfriend. For Adriana Nikles, that dream became a reality. Nikles is a sophomore at Central Catholic High School in Allentown. Her boyfriend, Zach Heffelfinger is a junior at Emmaus high School. On Monday, Zach waited outside Central for Adriana to finish school. He had two dozen roses, baloons and a sign that read "Adriana, will you go to prom with me?" Of course she said yes.
Now the real kicker is that this couple is gaining so much popularity because of one little story in the Morning Call. On Wednesday, Zach was interviewed by the Big Talker radio show in Philadelphia.
Adriana's mother, Melany, said that the couple has also been approached by a national talk show. (I am curious to know which one!) The two just went from an ordinary couple on Monday to an internet sensation overnight. I really wish Zach and Adriana the best of luck in the future.
Here's the link to the Media Sensation article:

It's crazy that something like this is getting so much media attention and changing the couples life, at least for the time being. It is good to see something lighthearted and sweet in the news; a needed change from stores about drug wars and deaths.
ReplyDeleteAgreed--it's definitely cute to read about for a change but I think overnight fame over a prom date is a little silly. A lot of h.s. couples go to prom together and a lot of dates are asked in a romantic or thoughtful way...I don't see how this is extremely different to receive national recognition via possible talk show appearances...but hey, if they are happy then good for them.
