On Monday evening we became New Zealand citizens. The ceremony took place at Wellington Town Hall, with the Mayor doing the honours.
There were about 75 people there to have their status updated. They were from a wide range of countries, which emphasised the current and future diversity of NZ.
Everyone had to swear ans oath or give an affirmation and then the certificates were presented. There was an opportunity for a posed photograph which we declined.
The event lasted about two hours as the Mayor had a chat to everyone who came up, and did not just hand over the certificate.
So now we are all pround citizens, and EQ is soon to become a black passport holder.
