Fiesta, Tejas de Morelos Part II

Suddenly there's a line of beautiful teenage girls dressed to kill, moving with the music. After a little bit, a line of boys do the same, opposite of them. At the head of the line is a statue of Jesus riding a burro. The boys are holding huge bouquets of flowers and palm fronds, reminding me that this is Palm Sunday. The girls have huge gaudy ribbons, kind of like the ones you see in an amateur beauty pageant. They line up across from each other, apparently in order of age. The first couple of kids are not yet teenagers, and one by one, with musical fanfare from the band, the couples approach each other, and the boy kneels and hands the beautiful bouquet to his female counterpart. This continues down the line until the 15th (or so) couple exchange the same. The last few couples are around eighteen, I figure, but it's hard to tell. Mothers are jostling to get good photos of their kid and there's even a professional photographer there - but the atmosphere is anything but formal. This is a big celebration!
