If you are kind of person who don’t like such occasions then you have to behave in a sense of decorum to endure the duration of this occasion. I am not saying to be like a stick in the mud. At the same time you don’t want to be disgrace. It’s very important not to cheapen the occasion by having no sense of dignity. Remember, if you want to lighten up, keep in mind how serious and formal such occasions are.
