It had been a very long time since we had any excuse to get all fancied up! I had searched hard for two weeks to find a ballgown. Next year, I will search in a larger city to avoid the painful process that I had searching here. I wore a beautiful turquoise and rhinestone gown. Rhinestone jewelry, my new rhinestone watch from Gaudy Girl shop and rhinestone and silver shoes. Eric wore a Black tuxedo and went all out wearing his Rolex for a change. The Balls in the Mobile and New Orleans areas are much more strict and formal. Your gown has to touch the floor, and it has to be a specific tuxedo tails or you will be turned away at the door.
We had a great evening, everyone at our table was so nice and the show was fabulous! The band was rocking the place and the food was yummy. I can't say the $25 bottle of wine the city was selling was worth that much. But every penny we put into purchasing our tickets, clothes, Lauren our babysitter for the evening and all the other accessories were worth every penny. Sometimes you just have to get all fancied up and be Cinderella with your Prince Charming at the Ball! Next year we hope that many of our friends join us for this grand event. The Mardi Gras parade is coming up in two weeks and we are counting down the days!
