writes: Dearest Aunts and Uncles, I'm in a bind. My absolute favorite aunt who is 32 is getting married! I'd love to get her something special. She's a social worker, lives in New York and is down-to-earth :) So I have four problems. She wants me to walk with my best friend (30) and he accepted, but we have a weird chemistry and I'm afraid we'll kiss or something influenced by the event. I also don't know how to dance. My family's is like the UN. I never know whose a cousin, aunt, etc. There will be Caribbean, Turkish, American, French, Italian, and Japanese (pop) music and I have to dance due to tradition... and I'm thinking: I hope they enjoy break-dancing, I'll destroy the place with my "moves" :/ And again, I don't know how to get my aunt a gift she would love... Any feedback/help will be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance :)

I'm sure she would love something, maybe a cool statement piece from Crate 'n' Barrel. Or find out where she is registered, and pick something nice from her list. I will say if she's into art or pictures..I saw at my friend's wedding someone had taken a picture of her and her husband, gave it to one of those cartoonist to draw and it came out fantastic! Eh if you kiss your best friend, blame it on the alcohol you sipped on that night. Anything goes at the reception, people are taking their shoes off, getting wasted at thee open bar, your uncle's hand is migrating down onto your aunt's rear, and your dad had moves you never knew he had..As far as the traditional dances go, I'm sure no one expects you to learn and master all that in a short amount of time...So just shimmy on over to someone who looks like they know what they're doing and mimic their moves. Trust me you won't be the only one doing it. As far as getting to know the family, just walk with your mother and when they acknowledge you guys make mental note of who they are. Or if they do that "I haven't seen you since you were this big" just laugh and reply "it's been forever, how are you?". Get them talking about themselves so you can maybe figure out who they are. Don't fret, let loose and have some fun!
