Emma’s Formal

After a year in the planning the day had arrived for Emma's Formal.  After a short trip to school in the morning for a final rundown of the night ahead it was full steam head for preparation.

 

Emma was booked into McCarthy Hair at Marsden at 1pm to have her hair and make-up done.

Emma had changed her mind a few times and wasn't sure what she would do with her hair.  Back in September she'd had a trail of an up-style but wasn't happy with the outcome.  Emma has very long, thick hair and it couldn't stay up. 

So today she had a different plan, but it took longer than expected.  So she was late getting home.  Emma raced in the door at 3.30 then had to dress and put on her accessories.

She looked stunning the dress was just perfect on her.

Helana, Tiffanie, Nana, Grandad, Nannie and Grampie all came to the house and we did photos

 

Running fashionably late we headed to the Berrinba Wetlands.  A couple of weeks ago Emma got asked to formal by Marnes Kok.  They have gone to school together for the last 5 years and have only now become friends.

 

 

 

 

 

I was so proud of the way Emma moved around the group and caught up with friends.  Of course I was there to get photos. Emma has had a change in friends in the last couple of months, but all differences were put aside for today.

Megan Lobegeiger and Emma have been friends since Year 7.

Chantelle Simmons and Emma became friends in Year 8.

Harrison Shanks and Emma went to Yugumbir together and weren't friend until Harrison transferred to Browns Plains from Runcorn High in Year 9.  The three of them had been inseparable most of high school.

Then there is Savannah Andresassend who is Emma's BBF now.

And lastly Olivia Flegg is Emma's oldest friend who she started Pre-school with in 2005.

 

Marnes had organised their ride into Formal in a black Mercedes.  As it was only a two door Emma sat in the front.

And off they went.

A celebration to mark the end to all the great time.  Even though in era is ending, there is also a new beginning.
