In Puerto Rico, Cuba, Mexico and other Latin American
countries a girl's entrance into womanhood and her
eligibility for marriage is celebrated at her Quinceanera
(also known as the Quince, or Quince Anos) and is
traditionally celebrated on a girl's fifteenth birthday, it
is often celebrated in the United States as a Sweet Sixteen
party. Quinceanera is celebrated as elaborately as some
weddings. Gowns and rented formal wear, limousine, photo
sessions, catered dinners, dance parties, and arranged
flowers mark the occasion as a special day that occurs once
in a girl's life. Although some members of Latino
communities feel that Quinceanera have become too
extravagant and that they are an unnecessary financial drain
on families, the tradition is valued by many and continues
as a vital part of their culture. "You only turn Fifteen
once, Carmen," her family told her. Although Carmen Neris, a
Philadelphia woman of Puerto Rican descent, was given a
choice by her family of a Sweet Fifteen (Quinceanera) or a
car, her family encouraged her to choose the Sweet Fifteen.
Her mother, who had not had a Quinceanera of her own, had
saved for her daughter's Quinceanera since Carmen was born.
The planning for the event began several months in advance.
With the help of her family, Carmen arranged for the making
of gowns and party favors (capias), rented limousines,
negotiated with the city to have the street in front of the
family's house closed off to traffic, engaged a caterer, a
photographer, and a choreographer, rented a hall, arranged
for the religious service, and had invitations made. Carmen
picked an escort for herself and invited fifteen other young
people to participate as members of her "court." Each court
member was expected to spend many hours rehearsing
choreographed dances for the event. Carmen's Quinceanera
began at six o'clock in the morning with dressing and hair
arranging. It was important that no one saw Carmen before
she descended the stairs to go to mass. During the mass
Carmen was blessed by the priest and crowned by a close
female friend. She also presented roses to the Virgin Mary.
After mass, Carmen and her court rode in a procession of
limousines to the park for a photography session. At the
party which followed, in addition to dancing, eating and
distributing capias to every guest, Carmen received high
heeled shoes from her father who removed the flat shoes of
her childhood.
