[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of life’s disappointments arise from unmet expectations. I’ve realized the more I have a pre-set idea of how something is going to go, the less happy I usually am. In fact, some of the most fun times in my life have been impromptu and with little preconceived notions of how things should go.

I think you put way too much pressure on the night. The cost. The once a year-ness of it. The special view. Something was bound to disappoint.

You will be much happier if you expect things not to go as planned. Things aren’t going to look like the fancy restaurant website. Sometimes food is not worth the cost. If it exceeds expectations, great. If not, that is life.[/quote]

+1. Expectations are premeditated resentments. The evening could never match up to whatever you’ve expected it to be.

Go in with an open mind and no expectations. You’ll be surprised and possibly happy at whatever happens during the event.

DH and I would laugh over this and probably take a walk by the water after dinner. [/quote]
