a snow flake in sight. The usual blizzards of Wisconsin held off just for our ceremony that night. The ceremony was held in the Mitchell Park domes which are botanical gardens. Three scenic domes with a desert, tropical, and Show dome. The show dome was decorated with poinsettia plants, greenery from the christmas season and a christmas tree so high you had to tilt your head to see the shining star on top. You could just tell how breathtaking the ceremony, decorations, and reception atmosphere was going to be. As I was standing there, anxiously waiting, dapperly dressed in my military dress uniform. She walked in the dome and graciously made her way down the bowed isle as the string trio performed Pachelbel's Canon in D. She wore a fitted ivory mermaid dress that had pearls and beads sewn around the underbust with a large bow on the side with more beading and sequence wrapped around the center of it. She held a bouquet of 25 white, fresh, and classy calla lilly flowers that was fastened by pearl pins. She finally reached the altar and teared up from seeing each other for the first time that day. I took her hand and then we started the ceremony. We stood under a white heart shaped metal arch decorated in green vines as our ceremony was conducted by the assistant pastor of our attending church. He stood directly in front of us as he delivered a wonderful bilingual sermon for both our Spanish and English speaking guests. I was petrified of the thought of passing out in front of my loved ones but I held on to the thought of kissing my wife. The pastor directed us to turn and face each other and led us through our

    I arrived to a church crowded with friends and family. So many people had gone to St. John’s Cathedral to witness the simple, yet elegant, tradition. There were also relatives from Mexico and Puerto Rico who took the long tiring trip to attend. I was honored to see so many people there on my special day. My court of honor led the way into the church. When it was my turn to walk down the aisle, soft music was played by the organist. I felt like a princess walking in my big, beautiful ball gown. My gown was similar to a wedding dress except it was a pastel pink. When the ceremony started it was nerve racking. I was thinking about my hair and people staring at me from behind, and hoping my tiara or…

    The day started in a small where a small prayer was held before we headed out to the reception. My cousin sat at the front in her big blue, poofy dress while the guests all sat in the pews behind her waiting for the sermon to begin. The priest went through the prayer pretty quickly and my family and I rushed to the reception hall to make sure everything was ready by the time the guests arrived. My cousin was to arrive at a later time with her court of chambelanes. When I entered the reception hall, I was astonished by how beautiful everything looked. It resembled a disco ball with mirrors all around, even on the ceiling; the tables were covered in all white table cloths with a small blue centerpiece to match the quinceañera's dress; there were probably more balloons than there was people and the chandelier in the center of the dance floor brought the whole place together with its luxurious dripping crystals. When it was time for my cousin to arrive, a long, white Hummer stretch limo dropped her and her chambelanes off. As she entered, she greeted the few guests that had already arrived. With the light shining on her, she looked like Cinderella in her light blue dress which shined from all the glitter and diamonds it was covered…

    The mass is usually called the mass of thanking because it allows me to thank family and show the role faith will play in my transition into adulthood. The reception is in a venue complete with a dance floor and themed decorations. My centerpieces were all handmade with beautifully crafted 6x6 wooden boxes, filled with bright pink flowers and glitter, which we picked out together at a wholesale flower place. I wanted these to look perfect, almost professional. Underneath the wooden boxes was a white lace place mat for it to sit elegantly on. I knew everything wasn't going to be extravagant, but it still meant a lot to even have the opportunity to have one as big as mine. Many are very low budget and don’t take a lot of planning. So this quinceañera was able to symbolize my family's hard work and success to get us where we are now.…

    On one chilly night in Las Vegas, my brother and I had just landed and got off our plane to see our dad. I remember walking off the plane and back into the airport terminal and hearing the soft and sweet sounds of christmas carollers surround me. Their voices seemed to follow us as we walked back to the parking garage to head home. It was a short distance but a long drive due to the hectic city traffic. I don’t remember much of the drive because I had slept most of the way home. Finally, we arrived at the house and we greeted the rest of our family.…
