The inaugural of Nikki Haley was held at Columbia’s Colonial Life Arena. The floor of the arena was transformed into a giant tent. Centerpieces of white carnations decorated blue tablecloths.<\/p>\n

Hours after being sworn into office, Gov. Nikki Haley thanked more than 2,000 people celebrating Wednesday night at South Carolina’s 95th inaugural ball.<\/p>\n

“You’ve really inspired us to get to work quick, but tonight is all about having a good time,” the 38-year-old Republican governor told attendees after walking in to applause shortly before 9 p.m. “So, what I want to ask is, laugh a lot, enjoy your friends a lot, and have a great time, because this is all about South Carolina tonight.”<\/p>\n

Haley and her husband Michael then kicked off a night of dancing to “She’s a Lady,” on a black-and-white checkered dance floor, played by the Headliners of Hilton Head Island.<\/p>\n

The second song, played by the Mighty Kicks of Orangeburg, was “Celebrate Good Times.”<\/p>\n

The state’s first female governor was dressed in a midnight blue, one-shoulder taffeta gown by Teri Jon, decorated with flowery ruffles along the neckline and a large flare. Michael Haley, who donned his National Guard uniform earlier in the day, wore a bow tie tuxedo.<\/p>\n

Congratulations Governor Haley! Asiance is thrilled for you and you look beautiful in your Teri Jon gown!
