7-8pm. Part of our job was to tell the ppl to go to the "Golden Man" behind us and he would tell them where to go. I noticed that quite a fe ppl came nad stod on both sides of the Golden Man and they were all dressed up in black, hooded capes, and white masks. They also were a bit mysterious and scary at the same time. I was confused why they were there but soon learned that they were Ushers to take ppl where they wanted to go.
8-9:30 at some point of time I remember looking back over my shoulder to see what the hooded dudes were up to, several of the guys happened to look over at me, I looked away. When the line started to die down I looked behind me again and one of the ushers was already looking at me, He smiled at me and I turned back to waht I was doing with a grin on my face. Since things were slowing down Sharen told us that we could go have fun and that they would do the rest. I told Aileen we had to do it the right way, so we stopped at the Golden Man. He told us what was available to us, Like the castle, BArcelona, Venice, art gallery, exotic belly dancing, food, later a promenade, etc. So wer turned to have an Usher and you could just tell that one guy really wanted to escort us so he was like "Ill do it". We told him to take us to "The Castle"; we learned his name was Joel. On our way there I saw a trampoline in the grass and mentioned it, Joel said we could jump on it if we wanted, so we ran over while he kept walking down the path, and jumped some.
CASTLE: Inside were round tables where ppl could sit and be served food. As we moved toward the stairs, The Hooded usher that smiled at me before with the gray vest was walking toward us and went up the stairs. An older guy doing Professional photos walked in and came to us. He asked if he could take a photo of us and of course we said yes.
There was a group of girls coming toward us trying to take a photo so AIleen and I moved out of the way but in the process were pushed inot the corner where the hooded usher just happened to finish coming down the stairs. So of course we started talking. Introductions were made. His name is Josh. We found out he goes to BYU and is majoring in Opera. On our way out of the castle he mentioned that he hasn't been ona real date since he got back from his mission, I turned on him and as I pulled out my phone said "Well we gotta fix that!" and we exchanged numbers. 
BELLYDANCERS: We go tot the Belly dancers and he pulled out a chair fo rboth of us. A lady came by to offer us some drinks, but when she came by she gave Aileen and Josh drinks an dleft to get me one but as she left Josh handed me his instead. (Such a gentleman!). As soon as the DAncers came out everyone around us whipped out their phones and was busy recording or photo snapping away. The belly dancers came by and were getting ppl to dance. A lady came by and asked me to dance, so I got up and she asked if I could shimmy "Oh I can do that" so I shimmied and thenshe had me shaking my hips, I got Aileen to join too.
VENICE: Once inside Josh offered to dance with me so we tried to figure out how to dance with my poufy skirt, we both kept stepping on the hoop. I enjoyed Waltzing with him, but I was nervous becasue I hadn't done it in a while. After a bit I had him dance with Aileen, they looked good because they both knew how to waltz. When we stopped dancing Josh was gentleman enough to seat us and get us some pasta! I asked him if he played instruments, I also asked him to say something in protegees (from his mission) he asked if he could sing instead. It was beautiful! Josh went over and started playing the piano, once again it was beautiful.
PROMENADE: We all separated for a bit, Aileen and I decided to get a photo of the castle so we left, on the way back we got some photos of us on the tramp. We returned and I told her thath I wanted to go down a certain path we hadn't before. Down this path we ran into JOsh again, and got a talking . Soon Aileen and I took our shoes off and continued to dance. THat's when I saw the Tall guys on STilts using their staffs for the game limbo so I tried it. The BAll was near the end and the band was playing the last song. I left my shoes on the fountain and danced a little jig of my own to the fast tempo.
FOUNTAIN: Everyone was technically gone and Josh started to sing "Once upon a Dream" from Sleeping Beauty, as we started to Waltz again, this time it was easier. There was a grin plastered to my face that entire time! THe Emeros came over and I introduced them, He got a talking to BRuce. WE decided it was time to take off our masks. Once as it was done and I was tarting to pull my mask off Josh looked over and there was this hush, so I was like Good timing SHaren, when she stopped talking and everyone looked at me. Haha the Emero's left us to helpl put things away. Now for the Unveiling what does he look like. He was so Handsome! so of course we took a photo.
He then went to return his cape and mask. In the meantime the Emero's came by again and Sharen wanted to get photos of AIleen and I kissing a frog. When the photo was done I turned around and Josh just happend to be walking up so I said "I kiss a frong and look who showed up". Sharen said something about me hearing the bells, so I sang a bit of "I can hear the bells" from Hairspray. It was the first time I really sang anything all night. I'd been wanting to but knowing Josh knows how to sing I was a little nervous. We asked if he had a ride home, He said he had to talk to his friend Josh about it, and we also offered to take him home. 
While he left I was telling Aileen about how I would sing at the top of my lungs to Moulin Rouge. 'And he jumps on top of the elephants head and almost falls off and she's all like oh no' then I started to sing a little from the start. As I turned around I saw that Josh was approaching, I stopped singing, we were both standing there looking at each other, than to my utmost surprise... He started to sing the "elephant Love Medley" from the beginning. Again to my astonishment I started to sing the girls part of the song without fear. As we sang I walked a bit toward the fountain and was getting into the song. It went something like this...
COMING HOME: He and Aileen helped me into the car and he shut the door. We went past his street by liek 3blocks before we realized it. Josh Grobans "she dances" came on, Of course we all started singing but I sang quietly so I could listen to Josh's voice, though at the same time I was trying to figure out where to go haha. We found his place and said our goodbyes. Taking AIleen home we were a buch of squeal of happiness. In the parking lot we talked for a good half hour about the whole evening. My phone buzzed and I had a txt from him saying Have a good night and sweet dreams!The whole evening was just so Amazing, romantic, and like a Fairytale. At times I keep thinking it was a dream. Next year I'd love to go again! <3
