Every once in a while, I enjoy going through old videos and picture and talk about those amazing moments with my closest friends and family. My quinceañera is always at the center of these memories. Having my quinceañera was something I dreamed of as a little girl. I was excited for the puffy dress, the elaborate dances, and the huge party. It's part of my culture. Six years have passed, and I still enjoy looking back at it. Although there are a few things I would've changed, it's funny to think about all of the bad things that had happened.

1. My horrible up-do

I originally didn't want to have my hair out since I had my quinces in El Salvador at the hottest time of the year. However, due to a horrible language barrier, the hairstylist gave me a mini-Snooki hairstyle. By the time I realized her mistake, it was already too late. I had to leave for the church mass right after. Looking back at all of the pictures taken that day, I can't help by cringe at how my hair looked.

2. Walking around in that dress

It may have been a pretty dress, it was extremely uncomfortable. It was super puffy and huge. I had to walk around very carefully in case I fell. Add a pair of heels, it made it even more difficult.

3. The father-daugther dance

People would think that the father-daughter dance is supposed to be feel very emotional. For me, however, that wasn't the case. Unfortunately, my mom was unable to attend my quinceañera. That meant my dad was in charge of the whole thing. With the amount of stress he had that day, he was yelling orders to everyone throughout the dance. Talk about a great father-daugther dance.

4. People fighting over the centerpieces

Centerpieces and other party decorations are slowly disappearing throughout the entire party. I saw several people looking for any tables with leftover centerpieces to take home. There were some instances where people would argue over who got to take decorations with them. Something I was completely not expecting.

5. The party crashers

Even though it was invitation only, it didn't stop people in the neighborhood from showing up. Thanks to word of mouth, a party for 200 ended up being one for 400. Instead of kicking them out, my family and I decided to just let them stay and enjoy themselves.

6. The rest of the party

Once the stress of the dances and getting ready is over, the actual party begins. Time for some cake and amazing music.
