Oath - Can we take spouse on oath ceremony

can we take spouse on our oath ceremony. Do they allow them to come and see.

Yes. You can bring your whole family. You can take pictures, video record it
(you are instructed to take picture only in the oath room but not at any other
places inside the building). When the oath takes place, the court ask oath takers
to stand up and everyone else to remain seated. After oath of allegeance, then
everyone stands up to recite flag allegence. I don't know if they keep a close eye
to make sure every oath taker does take oath and anyone else do not take oath but I
don't think anyone wants to play funnyv (that is planned oath taker do not take oath
and someone else as guest stand up and take oath).

So at least oath ceremony I did would be different from pictures in newspaper etc.
In those pictures, you see everyone stand and take oath solemnly but if you
saw a picture of the ceremony I went to, you would see some stand and some sit
next to persons who stand. I originally thought the case would be all oath takers
moved to the front and stand together, which did not happen.
