Cute couple!
Would the presentation ball be somewhat equivalent to a debutante ball? The all white dress makes me wonder. Oh, and pretty dress by the way.

I’m Also curious what they are practicing? Do they have to do a certain kind of dance?

DD looks fabulous and her partner doesn't look too shabby either!
They look as as though they had a great time with the photographer - hope they enjoyed the night as well.

She looks so beautiful! We would like more details, to whom is she being presented, what did they practice for, is the guy her date? Inquiring minds want to know!

Your daughter is beautiful and they are a lovely couple. I love her dress. Great pictures also. My favorite is the next to last one...she looks so sassy (saying this as a positive). Hope they had fun.
I am also in the group that would love to hear more about a presentation ball.

Presentation Ball is the same as Debutante Ball. We referred to it as Deb ourselves. I think they used the term 'Presentation' on the night to modernise it. Each participant, boy and girl, had to write a small bio out themselves. Most of them tried to make it funny and lighthearted. Questions like how do describe yourself. (Megan said funsized), What is your ambition in life (to reach the top shelf), Who would you like to give special thanks to (Partner for finally agreeing to do the deb). As they are introduced, they walk down the stairs from the stage and down the dance floor while their bio's are being read out. At the end of the dance floor are seated two special guests. When they get to them they say 'Presenting Megan and Jed' and they curtsey and bow for them. The guests were chosen for work they had done for the school. Then they do the series of dances that they had been practicing each week. It was probably 10-12 minutes at most but really effective in the dresses. Our tables were around the dance floor and dinner was included. There was a band playing and they had heaps of fun after the presentation. The entire thing cost a fortune. But they just had so much fun. She coped well in the shoes. I have no idea how. I couldn't walk in them at all. But she is 5ft tall and her partner is 6'4 so she was trying to gain a bit of height. She didn't quite get there. DD's parter was her boyfriend of two years. They have recently 'officially' broken up but I'm not sure why. They still act like they are together. I'm very confused about it and figure it's just best not to ask anymore. They will work it out. He is coming with us to Disney World and on a cruise in June so hopefully it stays like this.

There were 42 for this one. Not everyone chooses to do it. Of course mine do. The younger one is already thinking about it and her's is two years away. Sometimes it's difficult to convince the boys to do it. One girl did have another girl as a partner.
