Quinceaños

The celebration of a quinceañera is a latin tradition for many year. This is a celebration where families celebrate their daughter maturity. In some religion, reaching the age 15 meant that they are able to get married of, but this isn't the case now. The special day start with going to church, take pictures and lastly party. To make this special day perfect every little detail counts. The recommendation is to plan your 15 day a year before because it's stressful, but at the end it's worth it. In this tradition there are many traditions inside it. For example, crowning the girl as a symbol that she is the queen of the party, change of shoes as a symbol of little girl to a teenager, dance with her dad as a symbol of him presenting her to the society and giving permission for boys to dance with her, and many more.
