Quinceanera, the 15th birthday celebration. I want to know more about this tradition...

A random article from the Big Bend Sentinel.
Presidio--Shayla Marquez looked beautiful as she arrived on Dec. 23 at Santa Teresa de Jesus Catholic Church for her quinceanera celebration in a 1800-era horse carriage driven by Candi McKeel. She walked into the church in the arm of her handsome father Sammy Marquez. She wore a pastel pink dress.

The church was beautifully decorated with pink roses and carnations. Father Rolando Fonseca officiated at the Holy Mass. A dinner-reception-dance followed immediately at Father Benito Hall, which was decorated with pastel pink and hot pink. The tables were covered in white with hot pink bows.

Crystal vases of pink roses were place on the tables along with crystal platters filled with biscochos. Clear miniature lights covered with pastel pink tulle decorated the ceilings and walls. Shayla danced her first dance with her father.

The guests dined on pasta, salads, and brisket with all the trimmings and danced to the music of "Aquario 90" and "Los Robles" of Ojinaga, Chih., Mexico.

Shayla's parents are Sammy and Nereida Marquez of Presidio; her paternal grandparents are Alberto and Concha Marques; and maternal grandparents are Jose and Amparo Madrid, all of Presidio. Among the guests were uncles and aunts who traveled from Dallas and Chicago to help celebrate.
