«I went full blown and people say, ‘Oh, you wasted money,’ but it’s like, no,» Iglesias says. «I’m celebrating something that means the world to me. So I spared no expense. It was a very expensive night, but very memorable,” said comedian Gabriel Iglesias.
Gabriel Iglesias is a well-known American comedian who recently caused quite a stir, not because of his professional skills, but because of a peculiar and expensive party he threw for his little Chihuahua named «Risa».
The man organized a luxurious quinceañera for his furry friend with more than 300 guests (including other puppies), for which he shelled out no less than $100,000. Through social media he showed all the details of the curious party.

It all starts with him carrying his dog Risa in a pram as she wore a delicate pink suit. The attendees were in tune with the solemnity of the moment and even filmed excitedly as the two walked down the aisle.
«I gave my little princess Risa the most epic quinceañera!» Gabriel commented in the description of the clip, which has been retweeted 1.8 million times and already has 305,100 likes.

The event sparked a lot of media interest, so he spoke to Today and told them that he had come up with the idea after seeing a young man giving his dog a quinceañera.
“I’ve had dogs since I was a kid and Risa was the only girl dog I’ve ever had. Since I’ve had her, from day one, she’s always been in my hoodie. She’s always been in my jacket. We’re very close,” he said.

“So I said, ‘Alright, I’m gonna do this once. I’ve never had a daughter, I’ve never had a kid of my own, so I’m gonna go full blown on this one,’” he says. “And I did.”
«The party included a variety of food including al pastor mini trompos at the tables, bacon-wrapped hot dogs, carnitas, esquite, corn on the cob, an aguas frescas station and more,» as reported by the media outlet.
