For young Dakota Wollan of Watford City, N.D., prom night was not something he couldn\u2019t wait for.<\/p>\n

In fact, he had no idea who to ask to go with him to the special event.<\/p>\n

When the High School senior told his parents that he didn\u2019t have anyone in mind that he\u2019d like to ask to go to prom with him, his dad had an idea.<\/p>\n

He figured, since Dakota\u2019s great-grandma had never been to a prom, it would be fun to share this experience with her grandson.
\nWhen the student heard the suggestion, he was not negative at all.<\/p>\n

He felt it would be an honor and unforgettable night for them both to take his beloved great grandma!<\/p>\n

And, after thinking for a moment, he knew that this was the best idea ever.<\/p>\n

So, he decided to ask his grandma with a proper promposal.
\n\u201cI have this old truck she gave me, it\u2019s a 1985 ford she handed down to me and I got it running again. So, I took that truck and made a sign,\u201d he told KFYR-TV.<\/p>\n

When the 92-year-old woman saw the sign, she was shocked.<\/p>\n

She couldn\u2019t find a reason why a young man would want to spend such a special night with an elderly lady.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was just wondering why he would want a 92-year-old going to prom with him when there are so many young girls in the school,\u201d Madeline Miller, Wollan\u2019s great-grandma said.<\/p>\n

But she said \u201cyes\u201d. After all, Dakota had made it clear that if she didn\u2019t go, he wouldn\u2019t go either. So, she really didn\u2019t have an option.
\nAs the woman told the news outlet, she had never been to prom before.<\/p>\n

In fact, she didn\u2019t even remember if there was such a thing back at her time.<\/p>\n

Miller explained that she only attended high-school for one year and a half, because her father got sick and she had to help on the farm.
\nSo, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to find out what this prom thing is all about.<\/p>\n

Eventually, the big day came and the pair was ready to have the time of their lives.<\/p>\n

When they entered the hall, they caught everyone\u2019s attention right away.
\nBoys and girls couldn\u2019t help looking at them and cheering for them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWalking beside my great grandson, listening to this music as we walked and people clapping and hollering,\u201d Miller recalled of the night.<\/p>\n

As her great-grandson added, the rest of the students were excited to see them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe walked out on the floor, and everyone just went wild,\u201d Wallon said.
\nThe pair\u2019s dance stole the show and it certainly brought tears to many eyes.<\/p>\n
