1.2 million people accept birthday party invitation

A father in Mexico has posted an invitation to his daughte's birthday party on Facebook. He thought that there would be just several people but, to his surprise, almost 1.2 million people accepted this invitation. He doesn't know why it happened but is still waiting for everybody for this party. It isn't an ordinary party because for Mexican girls their 15th birthday is similar to their wedding day. It is the time when she comes of age. This party is called a quinceanera. Such parties have a lot of guests, a girl puts on a beautiful dress and wears makeup.
I wish I also had the same party. It is an amazing feeling when you put on a long dress, when you receive gifts and feel like a princess. We have a school-leaving party but there are a lot of other girls.
I don't know exactly why this big party is for 15 year olds. I think it should be for at least 17 or 18 year olds. I consider it to the best time when a girl has already grown up.
I wish I were a Mexican girl for one day=)
