        Father and daughter dances are a traditional staple of weddings. They tend to range somewhere between tearfully sweet and hilariously cringey. But sometimes, as was the case of Brittany Revell and her dad Kelly, they can be so freakin’ cool that millions of people become captivated. Brittany and Kelly’s video, which amassed, I kid you not, more than 40 million views on TikTok, shows the pair grooving in sneakers (Brittany’s were white because, hello, wedding dress) to their “dance through the decades.” It all began with Young MC’s “Bust a Move,” to give you a clear picture. And bust a move, they did. Though the duo did a handful of iconic moves—the tootsie roll, the MC Hammer dance, the Carlton, just to name a few—“the dougie,” made famous by Cali Swag District, was the obvious fan favorite.

The father-daughter and mother-son dances are sentimental traditions that many couples choose to uphold on their wedding day. For those who have deceased or estranged parents, however, family dances aren’t usually a part of the big-day itinerary. After one bride-to-be got engaged, her future mother-in-law insisted that she have a choreographed mother-son dance at the reception—even though the bride requested to eliminate the family dances since her father passed away when she was younger. Since the mother of the groom lashed out at her future daughter-in-law, the bride took to Reddit on June 11, 2024, to ask the internet for their input.

Uncle Milton's Ant Farm was Milton Levine's version of a formicarium (a vivarium is an enclosure or container) designed to study ant colonies. For some, watching the behavior of ants might have been like watching a pet.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.
