Ladies, Pick Your Own Escort!

A Quinceañera Lesson I Learned the Funny Way!

By Priscilla Mora

Ladies, let me share a little story with you. And trust me, when it comes to choosing your Quinceañera escort, I learned something the funny way!

When I was preparing for my Quinceañera, I didn't realize just how important it was to choose the right escort. After all, I was the birthday girl! I was thinking about my beautiful dress, my special day, and all the excitement that came with celebrating this important milestone in my life.

However, there was one small aspect I hadn't considered thoroughly: Who would be my escort?

Well, my mother took care of that decision for me! She chose the son of one of her friends.

Now, I wasn't going to argue. Mom had made her choice, and I figured everything would be just fine. What could possibly go wrong? 😂

Then came the moment when I noticed his little tie wasn't sitting quite right. Being the helpful young lady I was, I decided to fix it for him. I straightened that tie, probably thinking I was doing him a favor and making sure we both looked presentable for the occasion.

I had no idea I was about to walk into a little drama!

Surprise! He had a girlfriend! And apparently, she was not at all pleased with me fixing his tie.

Now, let me make this clear: I wasn't trying to steal anybody's boyfriend! I was simply trying to make sure my escort looked nice. I was the Quinceañera, not a contestant on a dating show! Somebody should have handed me a script so I would have known what kind of drama I was walking into. LOL!

Things got uncomfortable enough that my girlfriends stepped in to protect me. At one point, they had my back in the restroom while we dealt with the situation.

Looking back, I can laugh about it now. But, honey, that was a lesson I never forgot!

💖 The Lesson I Want Every Quinceañera to Remember

Your Quinceañera is YOUR special day. You deserve to feel comfortable, confident, and happy with the people standing beside you.

Your escort is someone who will share an important moment with you. You'll be taking pictures, participating in the celebration, and possibly sharing a special dance. So, shouldn't you have a say in who that person is?

Ladies, please speak up and have a voice in choosing your own escort!

Parents, I know you want the very best for your daughters. You may have a friend whose son seems like the perfect choice. And your intentions may be wonderful. But remember, your daughter is the one who will be sharing this special moment with him.

Let her have a say. Listen to her preferences. Give her the opportunity to choose someone she feels comfortable with and genuinely wants by her side.

A little communication ahead of time can save everyone from unexpected drama on the big day!
