My cousin's wedding party was the best I've ever been to. When I walked in I was amazed by how beautiful the bride's dress was, but I saw a girl wearing a white dress too and the bride was clearly uncomfortable, because everybody knows the colour white is reserved for the bride. Then I noticed people were congratulating them, and I saw the gift table, among them a big one caught my eye, it was set of pots, a gift from the bride's best friend. After this, it was time for the main event. The bride and groom did their first dance while everybody was holding their breath, the music started and I admit I cried a little. After we had a gourmet dinner with a lot of mixed desserts, they were delicious. I am sure everybody enjoyed them. The most anticipated moment happened when the bride threw the bouquet for her single friends and I caught it! Everyone applauded and I felt so happy. I would love to have a party like this when I get married.

The best party that I ever went to was my cousin's "quinceañera", I was very happy. From the moment I had to choose my dress until the end of the party it was really exciting and I also saw all of our family and friends, even the boy she liked. When I arrived at the party nice music was playing, my cousin was beautiful and all of us started dancing. For the moment of the vals something embarrassing and hilarious happened, Camila, my cousin, was dancing with the boy she liked and all of a sudden she fell down because she got nervous. We were all tense but they both laughed and so we did. While I was there I enjoyed a lot of different sweets, I was so full of energy. Camila was over the moon because she got closer with the boy she liked. When the party finished I came back home full of nice memories and with a big piece of cake.

The best party I attended was on March 25th, 2022, when my best friend,Abimael, turned 18, so his family and close friends decided to throw a surprise party for him. First, we bought ice cream cake, and we went to his house. Then, we decorated his living room with ballons, we prepared some snacks and drinks, and we also put some music on. The party began when he suddenly came, and we sang him "happy birthday". We had so much fun together, we talked the whole afternoon about some personal problems he had at that time. The party ended at 8pm, we were all happy to be there and so sad to say goodbye at the same time. After the party when everybody was at home we kept texting each other until midnight. This was the best party because Abimael passed away the same year, and I will always remember it with love.

We had the best "quinceañera" party at Gaby's birthday. First we bought, wonderful dresses, and we got inspired in how to accessorize when we received the invitation. When the day finally came, we arrived at the place, and it seemed to be like a palace with all the pink and girly decorations. Once the party started, the main event, we looked at Gaby smiling and waving to everyone in a horse to the salon. Everyone was so happy and emotional once the ball dance started because Gaby danced with her father and he cried during the dance. When Gaby's dance finished, the family gave an emotional speech, in which Gaby's mother told us her story of how Gaby was her best gift, and how she came to life to make everyone who loves her happy. We got emotional, so we all cried happily together. After that, we started dancing and having fun, which led into funny moments because no one was a good dancer but we were having lots of fun. Finally, the party ended with everyone singing "Happy birthday" to Gaby, and sharing a memorable intimate hug as a group. This experience taught us to value friendship and to share great moments together.

The best party I ever attended during my university life was Lingua Fest. When I arrived at the place, I saw people making a line, and giving their guest invitation. Next, they checked up our belongings, and we went inside. When I was there I could see that everything was colorful. As the party was going on, we started dancing. At the same time, we were drinking mojitos.

After that, while we were dancing, they announced that we had to choose the Beauty Queen of the night. At the end, a blond beautiful girl called Sarahi won. And surprisely, they announced a salsa competition, because of that my friends joined it, and they won. It was really funny. At the end of the party, we realized that we spent too much money. Finally, we went home. What could I say, it was really amazing.

I never forget that Carnival party, it was February 14th. We were finishing our project and we wanted to go and do something else. As a group we decides to go the cinema and watch a movie. In our way to the cinema we saw a bar and remembered that it was Carnival! Then, we decided to go and have some fun at the Carnival party instead of watching a movie. At the beginning we notice that the enviroment was new to us, but we loved it. Suddenly, the Dj started to play "Diablada", Bolivian music. Therefore, we wanted something to drink, so we bought a whiskey and someone invited us to have beer. In general we all were drinking too much but our friend Angela was getting drunk faster, so she ended up vomited we were surprised because ten minutes later she was playing truth or false with strangers. Without even noticing it was too late. I was tired, but my friends were still getting along with some random tourists, I couldn't help myself but feeling dizzy. I asked to my closest friend to called a "Yango" for me. In the end, the last part I remembered is me entering to my room and falling sleep instantly.

One of the best parties I ever experienced was the wedding celebration of my nearest and dearest friends. The church ceremony was organized by my uncle and my aunt because they were the godparents. I can say that the most meaningful moment was when they made their wedding vows, promising each other to love them until the last day of their lives. After the ceremony, we enjoyed some delicious desserts. In the afternoon, we went to the reception in Achocalla, a beautiful place with an elegant and warm decoration. There my friends had a photo session, there were flowers and a screen with videos and pictures of the newlyweds. Throughout the event, the music played an important role because they invited a great Christian music group, which created a good moment for all the guests. I felt strong emotions like happiness, love, and unity.
