Sadie Hawkins


This is the group we went with.. Precious!


The Sadie Hawkins dance is named after the Li'l Abner comic strip character, Sadie Hawkins. In the comic, November 13 was Sadie Hawkins Day, where the unmarried women of Dogpatch got to chase the bachelors and marry the ones they caught. The event was first introduced in a strip published on 13 November 1937.

In the U.S., this concept was popularized by establishing dance events to which the woman invited a man of her choosing, instead of demurely waiting for a man to ask her. The first known such event was held on 9 November 1938. Within a year hundreds of similar events followed suit, and the tradition became a permanent fixture in American culture.


This is the Man I invited.. Also the first time we met (as seen in picture)
