I have my ceremony today.
 

Going to be weird but I am looking forward to it. Around about 2pm my time I am being sworn in as being British.

I am sure it will rain so I get the traditional welcoming from the British gods.

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

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.

Happy Bar Mitzvah!!!

I will offically be bi in more ways than one.

Good luck sarah. :thumbsup

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. :)

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.

Are you from the states?

Yup...I have dual citizenship now

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

Were there many at the ceremony?

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?

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

Congrats and good luck!

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

congrats!

I am becoming Canadian on November 10...

j/k
congrats on having the "gumption" to get up and do it.

Congrats, hon!! Are you excited?

I'm still American :)

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.

Congrats hun! That's exciting.

So you'll still have good teeth! :upsidedow

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

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

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.

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

Judging by yesterday, I didn't.

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.
