San Luis Potosi: A huge crowd turned out to celebrate the 15th birthday of Rubi Ibarra, a small-town Mexican girl &ndash; though fewer than the 1.3 million people who said they were coming after the invitation went viral online.
Girls&rsquo; 15th birthday parties are often a huge affair in Latin America, when families pull out all the stops to welcome them to womanhood. But Rubi&rsquo;s &ldquo;quinceanera&rdquo; party took the phenomenon to a whole new level, after the invite became an offbeat Internet sensation.
About 10,000 partygoers of all ages came to see Rubi, who danced the night away in a flouncy, floral princess gown with a dramatic red skirt. The teen was the centre of attention on a large rock concert-style stage set up in the field. The evening featured fireworks, a huge banquet and a concert broadcast on a giant screen. Rubi danced with friends, as well as the men of her family, receiving a rose from each, in keeping with tradition.
The invite &ldquo;We would like to invite you this December 26 to our daughter Rubi Ibarra Garcia&rsquo;s 15th birthday party,&rdquo; her dad, Crescencio, said in the video invitation. &ldquo;Everyone&rdquo; is invited&rdquo;. 1.3 million Facebook users said they would attend.
