[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm Mexican American from South Texas. I was in 5-6 of these as a teen and my son and nephews have been in many as escorts to the court of 15 girls who wear matching dresses and do a special dance. (I have never in over 50 years see the kids waltz!) A real quince is different from just a big party. There is a church component to it that includes a Mass and the presentation of rose to la Virgen de Guadalupe. Priests will usually require that the girl be attending weekly Mass, youth ministry activities, and preparing for Confirmation. There are usually Padrinos, which are close family friends who "sponsor" various things that are presented to the girl at either the ceremony or the party afterwards like a rosary, a bible, a crown, a ring, etc... These days I've seen people doing some weird "first high heels" thing and "last doll" thing, which I find to be silly. Mariachis are expected, as is a full dinner, dancing, and a cake with 15 little dolls on it. [/quote] +1. Also Mexican American. Same experience. An actual Quince is not just a big, fancy dance, even if there is variation.[/quote]
