Oh Canada Didier!
It's Official!
Didier is now now both a citizen of the Republic of France and the Dominion of Canada. He has lived in Canada the requisite 3 years (technically that was completed in Jan of 2008) passed his test, paid his dues and fees , swore allegiance to the Queen, and to her descendants, sang Oh Canada and poof! he's a Canadian!
I'm living with a Dual Citizen!
...which means of course I'm sleeping with two men now! heh
It's a happy day at the house and we're celebrating with Champagne and Foie Gras (ok some things are just better celebrated like they do in the old county!)

oh what i wouldn't do for some foie gras right now!
congrats to didier! well done!
& how does a frenchman feel, swearing allegiance to lilibeth, second of the name???....
he got over it, i'm sure!!
oui, oui!!
:D~
It was quite a day and a little bit emotional. During the ceremony they also allow existing Canadians to reaffirm their allegiance as Canadians and to take the oath. As someone that was born Canadian I jumped at the chance to do so and pledged my allegiance to Crown and Country without hesitation and in both official languages. ANd so did the 4 other friends with us today. It was a wonderful moment.
And yea 7 bottles of champagne later... we're both exhausted, happy and a little bit drunk! Vive Le Canada!
Vive la différence!
Congrats to the entire family.
