Weymouth Teen Gets Creative to Bring Marine Boyfriend to Prom

A Weymouth girl was unable to bring her boyfriend to prom, so she brought a photo of him.

WEYMOUTH, MA - A Weymouth senior Allie Hardie had a conundrum when it came to the prom. While she naturally wanted to enjoy the night with her boyfriend of two years, he wasn't able to make it due to commitments with the Marine Corps.

Despite not being there, Hardie was able to take her boyfriend to prom, sort of. Hardie told WBZ that she took a portrait of him as her date, even taking the photo on the dance floor.
