A Connecticut high school senior, who asked Vice President Joe Biden to her prom, got quite a surprise.

Talia Maselli sent a letter to the vice president last fall, saying she could only tolerate a high school dance if she were accompanied by the "most delightful man in all of America -- Joe Biden."

Maselli thought her request would get brushed aside, so imagine her surprise when she received a corsage and a note from Mr. Biden.

He said he was unable to make her prom but hoped she enjoyed hers as much as he did his.
