Have any of you Latina GreekChatters had a Quinceanera?
There was an article in my newspaper today about a young lady who had one (there's not a large Latin population in Baltimore) and it sounds like it would be incredible. Like a Sweet 16 celebration, but bigger and better and a year earlier!
I liked reading about the part of the ceremony where the father put a ring on the girl's finger that was inscribed with the phrase "True Love Waits" to symbolize her virginity and faith in God. The article went on to explain that if the girl marries, she will return the ring to her parents as a sign that she has kept her promise. I thought that was really touching, although I'm not sure if that's a part of all Quinceanera ceremonies or not.
If you had one, it would be fun to hear about it
