In the morning, the dorky couple dressed in matching St. Patty's outfits before leaving the house.

The ceremony took place in Oakland. It was very emotional and exciting for the both of us. We were surprised at how many people were there for the swear-in that day... it felt almost like a graduation. There were 997 people in Julie's "class," which filled up the first floor of the theater and another thousand plus family members cheering the graduates on from the balcony. There were even people selling flowers and "diploma" covers.
The ceremony was in a beautiful theater. Julie, unfortunately, got a seat right under the balcony (our usual seats at the theater) which made it very difficult for Eric to take a picture. Eric had to go to the most far-left corner of the balcony and lean as far out as possible without falling over to get a picture of Julie sitting in the section that was in the most far right corner of the first floor of the theater. After risking his life, Eric was able to get one good shot of Julie.
