But if it's a special occasion, I say let it be special and not so rigid and restrictive. Does it mean you have to go NUTS and pig out? No. But you don't have to be down on yourself either and worrying every 2 seconds. That approach is what has caused me to have a less than stellar time in the past.
That's the best advice I can give you. Let the public hanging ensue!!
