NWR - Marine Corps Ball & Hairstyles

Samantha, on November 7, 2012 at 11:02 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 7

The Marine Corps Ball is this weekend! Is anyone else going? Any ideas for hairstyles? I don't want to spend money on getting my hair done so I'm going to try and do it myself. Do any of you have suggestions for easy youtube tutorials that are actually easy?

    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!

    @ 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 Smiley smile

    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!

    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!
