The Assembly Ball: Part 2

The guests have arrived; we given out dance cards. What next?
"Gentlemen, get a partner!" Generally, we start with some opening remarks, however at the Assembly Ball, we began with the Grand March.
Hannah and Andrew
And we were already having fun!
Daddy
With the Grand March finished, Daddy read a portion of Philippians 2 and reminded us of proper etiquette and decorum of an Old South Ball.
Listening with appropriate attention, we heard of practicing godly love towards one another - showing Christ to one another.
Young Widow
When a girl is not asked to dance, the next best option is taking pictures! And I also LOVE watching my Daddy dance. :O)
Young Widow:  Right-hand star
And watching other daddies dance with their daughters.
Kiri and Andrew
Between dances, while we move into formation, our happy, posed pictures were taken...
Adrea and Mr. Welsh
Remember me saying I adore seeing father/daughter couples? See above. :)
Dee and Jake
Getting ready for the Lancer's Quadrille.
Kristi and Andrew
The Lancer's Quadrille is composed of three sets and danced in a square formation.
Mr. & Mrs. Lay
It's also fun to see married couples on the floor.
Maddie and Daniel
Just when you thought everyone was prim and cheerful... (like Maddie and Daniel)
Me and Evan
Evan and I throw a monkey wrench into the mix. :P
Lancer's Quadrille
"The salute." Sheer awesomeness.
Lancer's Quadrille cont.
I found the above step tricky, but it was entertaining!
After all that dancing, you need a drink. I know I did.

Stay tuned...
