    LOL! She does certainly seem less serious that I’ve seen in photos of this event before! Assuming that’s ‘mom’ in the background, she looks pretty relaxed and happy as well. Excellent shot!

      Thanks! She certainly looks older, but that’s not her mum — rather another young woman celebrating coming of age. But yeah, they were real characters. Both understandably intent on enjoying their day to the full.

        Oh shoot… I feel bad for making that mistake. Well, good thing she won’t know I said it! =D

      20, so they are at least adult enough to drink!
