The chambelán de honor is not a decoration. He is the quinceañera's main escort — he walks beside her, leads the vals, and sets the tone for the entire court. The other chambelanes support the damas. Their job is to make the damas look good, not themselves. Rehearsal attendance is non-negotiable for all of them. One missing chambelán collapses the whole formation. Choose young men who will show up every time. The tuxedo is the easy part.
