hmm, I should probably answer my own questions!!


who was your date? why? who are they to you now?

my date was a male friend who I am still good friends with. I had made a rule for myself that I would not go to the formal with a boyfriend, as I figured that realistically, we'd break up at some point in time, and on the off chance it was a messy breakup, I didn't want to associate my formal with some douchebag ex boyfriend ... so I went with a male friend, instead of my boyfriend of the time (who is now my DH ... ah the irony!)

who was on your table? are you still friends with any of them?

all the people who were on my table, from my school are still good friends, except for one who has sadly passed away. the people who were on my table as dates aren't ... none of those relationships panned out.

what did you wear?

I had my dress made by a friend of my mum's - it was a gorgeous royal blue gown in satin, tapered in at the waist to show of my flat tummy, and a reasonably high slit up the thigh ... it was extremely flattering. I loved that dress! I had a shimmery gold scarf / shawl thing that went with it, and white sparkly chunky heels. I was quite short, so the heels were quite high - 11cms ... no idea how I danced in them for 7 hours ...

how much do you remember about it?

a lot. it was a great night.

and the afterparty?

my gang of friends had our own afterparty, at DH's house. it was good fun too! there were about 30 of us there.
