So to celebrate reaching the major milestone, Reynoso took a traditional celebration — the quinceañera — and put her own spin on it.
Members of her family congregated at the Saint Anthony Catholic Church in Oakley, Reynoso’s home church, on Sept. 10 for a special mass before attending a fiesta at a local family ranch.
Reynoso toldGMAin Spanish that her quinceañera “was incredible” and that “everything was just how I dreamed it would be” on the big day.
“For me, it was something grand to see my whole family reunited and happy and to see my friends,” she explained. “It was something bigger than I ever could have imagined.”
