Bellmer, Cox twins spend hours preparing for prom

Although prom is a time to doll up and feel good about yourself, it is also a day full of the stress that comes with getting ready.

Whether it be the process of doing makeup, nails, hair, or finding the perfect dress, getting ready is not the easiest for girls, as money and time fly out the window quickly.

For seniors Abby Bellmer and twins Anijha and Ania Cox, they enjoyed the preparation that came with prom.

It was a night they will always remember.

Like most girls, Bellmer was ahead of the game and got her nails and toes done the day before the dance to save time.

But the day of prom, she still had a lot to do.

Starting her preparation, Bellmer spent her afternoon at a hair appointment, and like every girl knows, hair appointments are time consuming.

But in the midst of it all, Bellmer was excited to get spruced up and see the results.

“I really enjoy getting all glammed up for things,” Bellmer said. “Getting ready by yourself can be relaxing.”

Bellmer did her own makeup, something she enjoys doing.

In the long run, Bellmer loved seeing everyone and how beautiful they all looked.

For Bellmer, prom went well.

“I had a lot of fun dancing with my friends,” Bellmer said. “Prom was by far my favorite dance throughout high school.”

Waking up at 7 a.m., the girls had a busy day ahead of them.

For the twins, prom preparation means working together and going together.

As Ania got her hair done at 8 a.m., Anijha got her makeup done by their mother.

As time passed, it was then Ania’s turn for makeup while Anijha had a hair appointment at 10 a.m.

Multitasking was a must for the girls.

Although stressful, the girls believe getting ready with someone else was fun and made time go by quickly.

“Once ready, I felt like the most beautiful girl in the world,” Ania said.

Following the glam session, the girls were able to grab a bite to eat with their mother and her friends. Afterward, the twins traveled to For-Mar Nature Preserve for some pictures.

“Prom was fun,” Anijha said. “We stayed the entire night and danced with friends.”
