Well I'm 17 so the mother-in-laws thing is kind of strange.
Also this is going to be a party with no alcohol. And that's good cause I don't drink.
In future I would aprreciate more serious advices.
Still, hit on them - age is no barrier for
love.
If they don't serve alcohol, bring your own - hide it under your jacket or something. Once drunk, offer to people around you.
Sorry, I felt the need to. Now more seriously...well, a wedding is not that much different than any other formal party. Act decent and civilised. Try to make small talk with the people. If you can't, try to stick to your relatives or friends around there, although it's a good opportunity to make some new ones ("So...pretty boring wedding, eh?" - use that on anybody who seems like you. Or "Ever been to another wedding? I haven't" you get the idea). Don't forget to talk to the bride and groom and wish them happiness, long life and whatever else appropriate. If you're feeling low on fun, try stringing a longwinded wish and slip in some amusing things, say, wish them happiness, long life, lots of children, never to run out of popcorn, everlasting love and several others.
And that's really the major part. It's just a fancy party. It would be a problem if you're alone there - without your parents/relatives/friends, but you should be able to find somebody to talk to.
As for dancing, I doubt anybody can give you written tips that would work. Your profile doesn't say where you're from, so do you have a national dance of some sort? I suppose it will come up at the wedding. Often, in fact. Otherwise, are there types of music that come up more often? Most probably the slow sensual type but who knows, the newly-weds may prefer something more upbeat. usually, though, there is a DJ (or a band, but I'll cover the same under DJ) hired for weddings and those DJs know the usual music people prefer and try to mix it to suit the most people (not make misic mixes, just use different songs) - they might do a disco music, then some slower stuff, followed by some summer hit, followed by a national dance. That sort of stuff. At any rate, there is bound to be a genre/type of music that is most likely to come up, so getting to practice some of this would be useful. And by "practice", I mean just learn something basic - nobody really expects you to be the friggin' Riverdance or each of your moves to be honed to perfection and even the most casual of steps you take to leave people breathless. Look around at the wedding - there's going to be really few awesome dancers, most will just do some simple yet functional steps. I know people who can dance to one type of music all in all (and even then, it's something like "left, left, left, step forward, step backward, repeat", so nothing complex) and that is really enough.
