 You will find a very detailed description of the whole ceremony 

Here are some pictures of Adam and I.  It was our first and we
had a great time.  We had baby sitting at the hotel at a very low
cost.  Some balls offer this service free, it just depends. We had
a great experience all around and are looking to this year's ball.
 

Just Adam & I...
