The date of the Ball has finally arrived - the dress is here, the jewels, the shoes are teeteringly glittery. Jess spent the day at the hairdressers and the nail salon, trying on the dress and getting all fluttery about the Big Event.
We were all invited to the Pre-Ball (there's an After Ball as well!) and met the parents and her date, and his parents and spent two hours chatting, nibbling and admiring girls who I hardly recognised - they looked so grown up!
It'll be strange to see them back in school uniform on Monday!
The Ball itself was at Sky City, in Auckland and it had an Oriental theme - acrobats, jugglers, waiters & waitresses dressed accordingly, even the cuisine was themed. Jess got a red rose from her fella, who was "the perfect date" and seemed lovely.
And.. yeah... as they say here - that's all until next year! Just imagine, I have four years of this to come!!
