Tonight Dan and I went to an 18th birthday party for Carmen, a young woman in our ward. Her mom is from the Phillipines and her dad is from Saipan. Traditionally in the Phillipines, the 18th bday party is a big deal for women. Not only does it celebrate their adulthood, but the party is a way to introduce them into courtship and marriage. Sister Sablan wanted this for her daughters. Bishop Sablan said, "Well, she can get married, but after her mission." :)
Entertainment to a delicious sit down dinner
Carmen, the birthday girl. So beautiful in her traditional dress. Love it.
Dancing for all afterward!
I am the only one that looks extremely under-dressed.
I now know what "semi-formal" means. How embarrassing. :(
I want to be an islander!!!!
