Emmy and Lue Brechtel, twins, graduate from Austin High School Friday at the Riverside Arena in Austin. Graduation plans are taking shape as the day approaches and there's a price tag attached to almost everything. With twins, the price can double, but so can almost everything else.

"You get twice as teary eyed," said their mother Dawn Ross.

The twins plan to wear capris, a dress shirt and flip flops under rented gowns, which along with rented caps and tassels, which they can keep, came to $17 each. Both women plan to attend the post graduation party, which takes place at the high school, at a cost of $35 each.

Their graduation open house will take place June 14 at their mother's house in Austin.
