Need something to accent the aisle? How about some shepherd’s hooks and flowers in pails? That’s what we did! Customize the pails with your wedding info for even more personalization!

There were a few giveaways at the Ball. Sometimes you could choose the original giveaway or take a chance on a gift bag.
Bret took a chance on the gift bag, hilarity ensued…
Check out the video on my personal Facebook page…and go ahead and friend me while you’re at it! 🙂
And we got a rubber ducky out of it!

It only took 5 1/2 years, a 3 hour drive and the stars aligning, but I finally got to a Marine Corps Ball. It was totally worth the wait! 🙂
HUGE thanks to Abby of Hair Design by Abby for doing my hair and makeup!!!!


Five years ago in January, Bret had just returned from Iraq and we had grand plans of attending the Marine Corps Ball.
You can read about how that DID NOT happen in a previous post.
Tomorrow, we get to try again. Bret’s friend (and funny enough, one of the guys with us the night we met) got us tickets to a local Marine Corps Ball. I am SO excited!!! I bought a new dress, I have sparkly shoes and it’s going to be fantastic! The only downside is the 3 hour drive, but given we’ve driven across the country twice, we should be ok. 🙂
Here we are all dressed up after NOT making it to the ball in January ’08.
