Silly Advice Request

[Arthur]

Not having the slightest inkling of the pressures that might put you under it is very difficult to advise. I do think that any boyfriend might be over awed by the occasion anyway, however FWIW if your boyfriend is somebody worth holding onto and he regards you the same, then he should make the effort and hang what people think of him (I mean he cant hide from it for ever so might as well jump in with both feet). I also think that the same goes for you, if you have decided to be the person you are then going the extra few inches is a must.
