Kevin and Kim attended the UCSD Jacobs School of Engineering. There was a smaller ceremony before the large graduation for the university for just the engineers. It was called the Ring Ceremony because each graduating engineer receives a silver ring and takes an oath to uphold the dignity and honor of their chosen field. It was a really neat ceremony to watch.

All the rings were separated by size in these red cups.
Here is the dean of the school and Mr. Jacobs; the school's namesake.
There were no caps and gown worn at this ceremony, so everyone was required to wear black and white formal attire.

I love the way she is looking at him here and how they are holding hands.

After the ceremony, there was a reception with cake and punch.
Kim's family attended(Kevin's attended the large graduation), and gave Kim and very special graduation gift.

Kim's new necklace and ring.
Kim's dad really wanted a picture hugging the giant stone bear. He named him "Rocky".
It was a wonderful day. I am so proud of both Kevin and Kim. I really enjoyed the idea behind the ceremony and the rings are beautiful. Thank you for letting me be a part of it!
