We went to the Inaugural Ball this week. For our new governor. Mister works in politics, so we got the chance to go. We were 2 of 4000 attendees.
Mister bought a new vest for his tux.
Oh, my goodness, doesn't he look HOT??!!! I was swept off my feet!
Here's what I wore. My wedding dress. We were married 9 years ago. Please ignore the bras hanging in the background. This is my bathroom mirror. Perhaps I should send this shot to Shelia at Note Songs!
Kind of blurry, but you can see the way the skirt is designed here.
We found new accessories for the dress. A close up of the new necklace. There are earrings to match, as well as a bracelet.
Alas, the bracelet fell off at the ball and was lost.
We had a lovely time, with dinner beforehand. Mister was so wonderful. He was so proud to introduce me to people. I could get used to that! It's fun to dress up and do something special together.
We didn't take any pictures of the ball. There is a link with some pictures here, should you be so inclined to view them.

Oh how fun...you both look wonderful and I hope you had the best of time!!! What a wonderful simple pleasure, may you have more of them this year!!
No empty praise when I say this: You look very beautiful, and your husband looks mighty fine too.
I do think a formal evening is a simple pleasure. Shoot, I get pleasure just being the mom sending her princesses off to the ball.
My daughter was supposed to work the GA inauguration and then go to the ball. Sadly, the ice storm changed all plans. Pooh. I just knew she'd find a prince.
Wow !!! getting to go to the ball and getting all dressed up sure sounds like some good fun to me as I am sure you both enjoyed it. The pictures are very nice love the neckalace
this was a very nice pleasure thanks for sharing
You two look splendid! I love dressing up for special events. A definite simple pleasure.
Fitting in my wedding dress, now that is my wish! Yours is beautiful. http://lindaoconnell.blogspot.com/

I love to see gorgeous gowns on ladies and men ALWAYS look handsome in a tux.
You looked simply beautiful :-)

I love to dress up - probably because we don't do it that often. You looked beautiful! What a gorgeous dress. Shame about the bracelet.
