I have my ceremony today.

**DutchTeenCash** · 11-02-2005, 12:40 AM

cool, do you get to say something as well or just stand there?

**Sarah_Jayne** · 11-02-2005, 01:12 AM

I have to affirm an oath...I had to decided if I wanted to swear it or affirm it. The people that swear have to do it on a bible..so I went for affirm.

**reed_4** · 11-02-2005, 02:19 AM

Good luck sarah.

**Saeun** · 11-02-2005, 02:28 AM

If you really want to impress... you should bust into the room (don't bother to knock, just go in shouting and swearing) after a night of binge drinking, with a copy of The Sun rolled up under your arm, a counterfeit burberry cap, and your adidas pants tucked into your socks.

You'll blow them away.

**Sarah_Jayne** · 11-02-2005, 09:02 AM

Well, the deed is done. In true British style it pissed it down and we were handed a cup of tea as we left the ceremony.

**Screaming** · 11-02-2005, 09:11 AM

Are you from the states?

**Sarah_Jayne** · 11-02-2005, 09:21 AM

Yup...I have dual citizenship now

**Damian_Maxcash** · 11-02-2005, 09:25 AM

Hey - I said congrats in the other thread - but its worth repeating - welcome to the club!

Were there many at the ceremony?

**Sarah_Jayne** · 11-02-2005, 09:31 AM

There were about 20 people sworn in and then about 25 guests (we were allowed two each). I was sworn in by the deputy mayor of Bexley ..lol The framed picture of the Queen on the desk was comedy.

Is it licenced - should I sue?

**Expo_Vids** · 11-02-2005, 09:39 AM

Be honest, have you tried speaking with a British accent with strangers you meet on the street in order to see if you can "pass" ? LOL

**Jennyfer** · 11-02-2005, 09:42 AM

Congrats and good luck!

Never but I wish I could do it. I would just sound horrible doing it.

**sexyclicks** · 11-02-2005, 09:51 AM

**Sosa** · 11-02-2005, 09:53 AM

More feeling a sense of completion and of independence. I no longer need to be attached to someone when I come through imigration at the airport or something. Whenever I came back into the UK before I had to explain being married to a British citizen,etc. Now, I am just me.

**KCat** · 11-02-2005, 12:11 PM

Congrats hun! That's exciting.

Yup...my parents were blessed with a dental plan.

**je_rome** · 11-03-2005, 01:26 AM

why do they have to do it on a bible if they swear?

**Sarah_Jayne** · 11-03-2005, 01:48 AM

in the end it wasn't a bible but the swearing in was 'swearing to god'..I affirmed which meant I didn't have to mention god.

**Kristian** · 11-03-2005, 01:53 AM

Congratulations! Let's hope you've brought some of the nice weather with you.

Just make sure it's sunny for Friday when I go fishing!

Seriously, I know you've been wanting / needing this for awhile, so it's great to hear your news.
