March 7th 2011 - Traditional & Usual Wasn’t Her Quinceanera Blessing Style – But, Rather Sentimental & Participatory & Engaging! A Younger Quinceanera Blessing Mindset for A New 21st Century! Couldn’t A Family Keep Tradition And Modernize The Ceremony To Personal Taste!
After a complete survey, during the Quinceanera Blessing ceremony planning session with Dr. Linda, a National Quinceanera Blessing Ceremony writer expert and officiant, this 14 year old and her family “saw the light of originality”.
Maria, is a happy young girl, and at the threshold of her Quinceanera Blessing Ceremony. She was a already a graduate of a national modeling school, well spoken and poised for her age. Her 21st century mind was clear with the assertion that her blessing ceremony would be, not at all like her friends or other family members! Maria had attended Quinceanera Blessing Ceremonies that were dull and lifeless and insignificant. In fact, she did not want to celebrate her 15th birthday and the beginning of her adult female life with 5 or more other girls in a traditional Roman Catholic setting! It would be outside the Church, and with God present, she would celebrate the gift of her life with all those that she loved. Her blessing ceremony was going to be a “microcosm” of her definitive life goals – what she liked and didn’t like – what she wanted in adult life! She was searching for meaningful wording, ideas and unique participation. She was even open to new technology in the Blessing Ceremony, this on the suggestion of The Clergy Network Wedding Officiants of Southern California - A brain child of Dr. Linda Wainwright Trott, TCN’s newest Quinceanera Blessing Ceremony think tank is providing captivating ideas for 21st century life celebrations!
The Mexican – American Quinceanera Blessing Ceremony Not Being Influenced by The 21st Century 15 Year Old? Or is it?
A Quinceanera Blessing Ceremony Outside The Traditional Roman Catholic Church - How Does The Younger Generation Of Soon-to-be Adult Women See The Quinceanera Blessing Ceremony?
The young Mexican - American girl might or might not be ready to alter the essential core of the blessing ceremony. And, even if she is, will her parents be open to a few modern modifications? In short, trending away from the expected Quinceanera Blessing Ceremony wording and inclusions to something more this century remains to be seen. After all, what is this century all about, for it is merely a newborn in the sands of human time? After all, the Blessing Ceremony is about the “passing on” of certain traditions – less about personal expression – more about group history through cultural identification.
As Quinceanera Blessing Ceremony Writers & Celebrants, The Clergy Network Wedding Officiants of Southern California seem some what alone in this new style scripting of the “Sweet 15” blessing celebrations for this generation. This kind of scripting takes acumen, and few possess this. It takes families wanting to think differently. Yet, on the technological front, yes, young Quinceanera Blessing candidates and their families use new technology to educated or entertainment, but is that same current culture geared to thinking differently about the Quinceneara ceremony? The perception is that the Quinceanera Blessing ceremony is something that has an unalterable format, or is the way it is because the “custom” says so. Newer ideas and newest technology may not have a place, yet. However, while preserving the important cultural aspects of the ceremony, could not the Blessing Ceremony be personalized to each young lady? Use newest technology? After all God creates us to be individual, and with His own plan in mind. However, couldn’t a young lady and her family, honour the culture, but also God’s specific purpose? Maria thought so, and so did her family!
It just takes time for a new generational culture to define itself. And yet, Quinceanera Blessing families need to know that there are alternatives. Or, we just need to excite them a bit more to expression, without threatening those important traditions being passed on through the Quinceanera Blessing Ceremony. There are timeless elements to the Quinceanera Blessing Ceremony – These things do not essentially change. Nor, should they! Commitment to God, healthy family values and to the pursuit of a true happiness that overflows to the benefit of others - These need always be fashionable and trendy and present, as well as modeled for younger generations to emulate – These are some of the absolutes which stand alone in each Quinceanera generation!
What About Maria and Her Family? How Did Their 21st Century Style Quinceanera Ceremony Turn Out?
This more 21st century minded young lady, sought participation from the represented generations, while defining her own unique life time goals through wording and ceremony events. From the custom written ceremony wording to the partnership of family members during the ceremony, it was simply charming. But, the idea of prerecorded dialogue and other new technology inclusions, is the 21st century super star! wwwtheclergynetwork.com was the perfect match for Maria and her family; perhaps we have started a few new Quinceanera Blessing trends, just for this century’s young Mexican – American women! We will write more about “21st Quinceanera Blessing Ceremony Trends”, of which we hope to be the “Trend Setters”!
Quinceanera Blessing Ceremonies take place in parks, hotels, country clubs, beaches, private homes, resturaunts, outdoor locations of many kinds - Orange County - Los Angeles County - San Diego County- Riverside County- San Bernardino County.
