And let's just go ahead and say it can be hard to take pictures of yourself at 11 p.m. The light's, well, dark. And the hair? A bit flat.
We had a photographer at the dance last night and I'll add pictures he took when I get them.
But for now, here's THE DRESS.
God bless Calvin Klein. And Marshall's. The end.

Just got home from church and received these photos from our friend who took pictures last night. Thanks, Jeff!
(And yes, for those of you who don't know me or Toben in real life, I am taller than him. Well, sort of. In bare feet we're almost exactly the same height. So when I wear 3-inch silver snakeskin heels--which I have on though you can't see them in the picture, I'm definitely taller!)
you are seriously beautiful. wow. hope you had a fantastic time.

I imagine how you look in that little black dress may have something to do with why Toben was such a sweetie about helping you out for the day!! He's no dummy! You look beautiful!!

Beeeeeautiful Joanne. Love the dress and love the girly in it. Your hair looks GREAT! Almost makes me want to go short but I am such a wimp.

You look marvelous! Jaime and I are exactly the same height too. So when I dress up I am taller because I love heels! I have gotten over caring that when I wear heels I am taller :)
Looks like a fun night! And Toben looks very handsome too. You guys are such a great couple.
