90-year-old Prom Attendee : Granny's First Prom (Video)

On : 2010 May 04

Check out this heartwarming video of a 90-year-old great-grandma enjoying her first prom.

Hasselteen Rumba of Missouri had her great-grandson on her arm as her date for the Fort Osage Prom at the Arrowhead Pavilion on Saturday night.

Rumba said she wasn't allowed to go to the prom or even dance as a teenager. Her bucket list wish was fulfilled when her great-grandson, 18-year-old Ronnie Blalock asked her to be his date to his prom.

"She never went to a prom and I figured I'm having a prom so she should come with me and enjoy herself," Blalock said. "She's 90 years old and deserves to have a good time."

What a sweetheart!

Tell us, what's on your bucket list?
