A huge crowd turned out on Monday to celebrate the 15th birthday of Rubi Ibarra, a small-town Mexican girl - though it was fewer than the 1.3 million people who said they were coming after the invitation went viral online.
Girls' 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's "quinceanera" party took the phenomenon to a whole new level, after the invite became an offbeat internet sensation.
"We found out through social media and we said 'Let's go. Everyone is invited? Let's go," said Tania Rodriguez, who traveled five hours by car to attend the party held in a large field in Villa de Guadalupe, in San Luis Potosi state.
"With all the coverage on her, Rubi felt like part of the family," added her husband Gonzalo Torres, before heading off in search of "more beer."
About 10,000 partygoers of all ages came to see Rubi, who danced the night away in a bejewelled floral princess gown with a dramatic red skirt.
The teen was the center of attention on a rock concert-style stage set up in the field, as journalists jostled to capture her every move.
