Oh, What a Night!

Sorry this entry took so long.  I have been waiting for the photographs to be developed and sorting through them.  I have selected the best ones to display here.  More pictures will be added later.

 

Kailei & I had a great time at the Sixth Form Ball that Saturday night.  It really was one I shall never forget.  From the photographs, I think you’ll agree when I say Kailei looked absolutely beautiful in her ball gown.  I felt like a prince with her on my arm.

 

The limo ride to the venue was thrilling.  We broke down – three times!  Trust that to happen to me, but it all added to the excitement!  Katie & Adam, her boyfriend, were sitting there panicking, while Kailei & I were singing "Que Sera Sera" loudly out the window, while drinking from our flasks of vodka and Malibu. 

 

The limousine got us to the venue, but we were forty minutes late because of the breakdown.  We will be complaining because unfortunately, we missed the professional photos.  Kailei and I didn’t really mind because Uncle Robert and Maggi, his girlfriend, had taken lots of pictures beforehand out in my back garden.  But the other couple may not have been so lucky.

 

Also, the limo driver told us that we had to be over the age of 21 to have a glass of champagne on the journey.  Afterwards, we found out we could’ve had a glass because we were all 18 years old, and legally adults.  It shows how much the driver knew about rules and regulations!

 

We arrived just in time for the three course meal.  We had leek and potato soup to begin.  Then for the main meal, we had chicken in mushroom sauce with asparagus wrapped in bacon.  With that, there was roast potatoes, new potatoes with carrots and peas.  For desert, we had a chocolate pyramid, with a crème brûlée filling.  The meal was very nice!

 

Then, after the meal, the headmaster and deputy headmistress gave some speeches of thanks, and then some ‘Awards’ were handed out for best looking male, female and couple of the evening (bias in my opinion)… Then the party really began!

 

I did not stop dancing all night.  The only problem I found that it was really claustrophobic on the dance floor.  It was really tiny, but that didn’t stop me getting my groove on!

 

I had an amazing night, and I know Kailei did as well.  It’s very true when it is said time flies when you’re having fun.  It really did, the party only seemed to begin when it was time to leave.  I’ll close now then and I hope you enjoy the photographs I have included.

Wow, Your the man!   How dashing you look and Kailei looked lovely as well.
Sounds like you had a great time.  To bad about the limo, I think they should refund the price to you becasuse of the break downs and the champagne story, and arriving late for your pictures.          Dawn
