Karen Vela Lima puts her shoes back on after taking them off to rehearse one of the dances that she and her court will perform during the party. One of the biggest parts of the event was Karen’s dress. “[Finding the dress] was very stressful. We went to Louisville, Russellville, Nashville and a lot of different places just to find it,” Vela Lima said. “I was really happy when I finally found it. I was like, ‘This is the one.’”
