It was her first high school prom at Albertville High School in Alabama.
But rather than inviting any old boy from her class, Joy Webb had other plans - she asked her 80-year-old grandfather James Drain to go with her.
*Heart melts*
Webb decided to invite her rather unconventional date after hearing that her grandfather - who they fondly refer to as 'Papa' - didn't get the chance to attend prom when he was younger.
The kind teen wanted to share the experience with him because he is a man who brings "nothing but happiness to the family".
Webb told WHNT News: "My family is everything to me and I love him so much. It's just, like, really special to me because I know not many people get to do that."
The pair turned up to the school prom in a horse-drawn carriage. Webb looked stunning in a blue, floor-length gown, while her grandfather wore a tuxedo with a blue bow tie to match his date.
And with a tear in his eye, Webb's grandfather Papa revealed that it was a night of firsts for him. "This is my first appearance in a tuxedo," he said proudly.
As their carriage pulled away to take them to prom, Webb added: "This is my prince for the night."
Aren't they the cutest?
