A Quinceañera is a Mexican celebration of a 15 year old girl and the becoming of her womanhood celebrated in mass and a social gathering afterwards. But when i had my very own quinceanera after all the months of planing, i loved the feeling i got when i was known as a woman.
The day started with my family coming into the room and waking me up in bed with a yummy red velvet cupcake with one candle on top. After they sang me the happy birthday they let me blow my candle out. After they left i got ready to have my hair and makeup done. After my hair and makeup was complete i had my dress on. Slowly i saw every single one of my friend walk into my house that made up my court of honor. The girls wore a pink silk dress down to there knee with sparkly gold flats and the guys wore a suit with a pink vest. i thought it was cute to see them all in pink. Everyone was so excited and happy. When the limo finally arrived here at my house we all had to enter in an orderly fashion because they were video taping us. Then we finally left to mass.
Inside mass i got a priest in which i could not understand a word. but i tried my hardest to fully take in the moment.When mass was over i had to bow and my escort escorted me out. He is a great friend which is why i was grateful to have him as my escort. Then my court followed behind.
Finally when we got back in the limo everyone went crazy. we all danced and moved around. i couldn't move around due to my dress so everyone came to me.haha. Everyone dance with me, next to me, and on me. I was cracking up the whole time. The limo ride was an unforgetable thing that i will always keep in my memories.
When we finally reached the reception i saw so many people there to celebrate with me on my special day. When we finally entered every one applauded. Soon after we were served food. It started of with a salad then i plate with pork drenched in sauce and pasta in mushroom dressing with vegetables aside.I really didnt get to finish my plate because i had to greate everyone. But what i ate was really tasteful.
After everyone ate we had to preform the waltz. Everything was going perfect, everyone was overjoyed until Victor my escort stepped on my dress and fell. Everyone laughed. I was about ready to stop and cry and i wanted to start over. But then i just laughed about it afterwards. Later i did the father daughter dance. i saw everyone watching with a smile on there face everytime i would spin and then i saw my mom with tears in her eyes, i then teared up myself. The song ended and i hugged my dad.
It was time for my surprise dance to break the dance floor meaning time to party. I went crazy dancing the rest of the night. I danced with everyone there. At the end i remember sitting in a chair all maxed out and i saw cake left over so i ate a peice of my cake.
That day was one of the best days of my life because i spent it with friends and family and also being the center of attention. But that day will be the most memeral day because my parents were able to give me a day to remember.
