“This is the day she dreams of.

The big white dress. The attendants. The limo. The reception. The cake.

Her quinceanera.

It might look like a wedding, but this rite of passage marks a Hispanic girl’s transformation from a girl into a young woman.

The tradition for 15-year-olds is generations old, but today’s quinceaneras look different from their mothers’ days. Mama didn’t put her invitations on a Web page, didn’t scope out dresses at www.be15.com, didn’t shop for a photographer at a quinceanera expo, didn’t take a quinceanera cruise and certainly didn’t have MTV knocking on her door.”
