wearing white on
her coronation
ceremony.
The dress, ivory
coloured, is a
gift from her
parents and her
husband, was
bought in the
United States.
"For me, the
most important
thing is that
ordinary people
be there,
hopefully they
come with their
children. I want
to celebrate the
day with the
people of Costa
Rican", said
Chinchilla.
Doña Laura also
made a call to
the protestors
of the last
weeks to respect
the ceremony.
"Costa Rica does
not deserve that
(protests). The
images will will
transcend the
international
community and
could discourage
some people from
attending the
ceremony", said
Chinchilla.
Doña Laura will
be accompanied
on Saturday by
her husband,
José María Rico
and their son,
José María Rico
Jr.
Her parents will
also be present
in the front
row, along with
invited guests
and dignitaries,
when at 12:05pm
she will receive
the presidential
sash from Oscar
Arias and become
the first woman
president in
Costa Rica's
history.
