DALLAS, Texas – It wasn’t the prom one Dallas Texas area couple had expected.
But in the end it will be a prom they are both likely to remember forever.
After a ‘bad car accident’ sent high school senior Alyah Mitchell’s date to the hospital, the Mesquite High School senior soccer player had to attend her prom solo over the past weekend.
I think I did pretty good without a date! 😁😁😌😜 #Prom2015 #prompics2015 #prom2k15 pic.twitter.com/9EowRZggut

While Mitchell made the most of her prom she was thinking about her date much of the time.
So she did something special. A few days after the dance was over she put on her dress, did her hair and makeup and she surprised him in the hospital.
My prom date got into a bad car accident but recovering well so I surprised him at the hospital in all my prom stuff😌 pic.twitter.com/vY88TsSppa

Mitchell’s man is ‘recovering well’ but is seen in the photos she tweeted still in a wheel chair.
The smile on both their faces tells the story of the memory they will both likely share for the rest of their lives.
