NWR - Marine Corps Ball & Hairstyles

We decided not to go this year. We were having babysitter issues and just financially after getting married we didn't need another big night so soon. But I think DH still has to buy a ticket :-/ (Which really sucks considering he isn't even in the Marines! But whatever. His unit can be retarded sometimes.)

Annnnnnnd sorry, but I'm completely hopeless at hair. My "fancy hair" is when I straighten it since my hair is naturally curly and that's how I wear it.

But have fun! Be sure to post pictures!

Ive never been, but i'd love to go. only thing is DHs Marine buddies live all over the world, so if we went to one local to us, we'd only know each other LOL

Hey Samantha, I'm hair dumb!! Can't do anything to mine for the life of me. Anyways I found this website that might help you. Good Luck.

@ JLD - FH's unit has that rule too - it is pretty ridiculous that its required. The tickets were expensive enough which is why I am rewearing my dress from the first year & attempting to do my own hair!

@ Kirst - they are fun you guys should go anyway!

@ Married my true love - thank you! I am def going to practice a couple of those

As a female Marine I wasn't able to wear a gown or fancy hair, but i always noticed the ladies in dazzling half up/half down dos. So wished I could wear one! Enjoy they are a blast!

Ah no I m not going this year, but I went to 2 last year and 2 the year before! They are so fun! Good luck with the hair, I am pretty crap with hair. For all my balls my friends did my hair haha

Nope. DH is still deployed, and even if he weren't on top of the regular costs we'd have to buy a plane ticket for me and pay for a hotel for me to stay in since DH still is technically living in bachelor housing where I'm not allowed to stay. Too much money. Costs a grand just to visit without the ball with it it'd be like 2k. Have fun though!
