Is it a wedding, or graduation?

Day 12:  Today is the big day that all of Greenwich Academy has been waiting for (that is that school Jeff is working for.)  Today is graduation.  Let me tell you, these rich folk do NOT live like you and I.  Graduation is a very big deal where they spend a lot of money.  Each of the graduates (all girls) buys a wedding  dress to wear as they walk.  I tried to get pictures, but they are a little far away.  If you look close, you can see a girl in a white dress, holding a yellow rose.  Apparently, as they get their diploma, they hand over their single yellow rose and get a bouquet.  So weird.    

It is also raining, so they added the tent over the walk way, so that the girls don't get wet.  Ridiculous, if you ask me.  But then again, if you are spending 10,000 dollars on a dress, you don't want it to get wet.  (Yeah, that is what they spent on those dresses! Just imagine their actual wedding...)  Oh and get this, Tom Brokaw is the main speaker.  What a different world they live in!
