THE MUES PHOTOGRAPHY

Bar or Bat mitzvah: a ceremony held in the synagogue to admit a 13 year old boy or girl as an adult member of the Jewish community who has successfully completed a prescribed course of study in Judaism.

Quinceanera: In the Latin culture, a girl's 15th birthday celebration, marking her "womanhood" and such. It's usually huge, like a mini wedding; everyone dresses formally, band plays, wedding-like cake, the works.

Neither of these celebrations are as common where I live, but I was lucky enough to experience one or two of each in the last several years.

 That better not be alcohol.

As far as the white suit went, he just wanted to be different. Good for him.

I could never do this. I don't think he can either.
