Are Any of Your in-Laws in the Wedding Party?

View Quoted Comment

Definitely understandable!!

View Quoted Comment That's really nice to include all the family, but not everyone gets along with there future in laws. I personally am not having my FHs sisters as bridesmaids, were not really close at all and only see each other at random holidays and birthdays. I'm only having my best friend as MOH and my Fiancé is just having his best friend as BM. To each their own.

Aww, this is lovely! It's beautiful when in-laws naturally fall into place as family!

Yes my FSIL is a BM and FBIL is a GM. I love them so much!

Two of FH's sisters will be asked to be bridesmaids, one will be asked to officiate, and his SIL is being asked to be the photographer. Each one of our siblings (him 4 and me 1) will be asked to take part in the wedding.

Yes to each their own. I was just explaining how in my family and the families of my friends it is pretty much a requirement. Unless someone has done something against you, why would it hurt to include them. All it would do it be a good start to a relationship.

That being said, you aren't really having a BP, just a MOH and BM so it's kinda a different situation.

FSIL is a bridesmaid. We're not super close cause we live far apart, but we get along well and I'm happy to have her. I know a lot of people here say it should be those that are close to you, but I'm becoming part of their family and for that reason, I feel like it's important to have her stand up with me.

I'm having my sister's and daughters.....he is having his brothers and my son

None of them are on my side, but his brother and his brothers-in-law will be on his side!

Aww, this is wonderful! I love the unity!

Yes, good point! Having them by your side is a great step towards uniting both families!

FH’S sister in law is one of my bridesmaids but his sister is not. When we first started dating for about the first 2 years his sister and I did not get along and then past 2 years now have been a little better but I wouldn’t say we are friends. His brother is his best man and I have a brother, however he is not apart of my life so he is not in the wedding either.

Touché! I agree completely. Also- same with my FSIL and my bro as his groomsman.

I am not close with my FSIL at all. My FH has suggested that I ask her to be a bridesmaid, mostly because I'm having a hard time picking the last two bridesmaids.

My SIL is one of my bridesmaids, and my brother is one of FH's groomsmen!

H has 5 sisters and 3 step-brothers, so it would've been really hard to include any of them without including all but 2 of them, who don't bother with the family.

We incorporated them and their families in the wedding by H's step-brother being his best man, one nephew from one sister being a GM, another nephew from another sister being the RB and yet another sister saying a prayer at the reception. Not all of them were included, but we did what we could. One step-brother he is not as close with, and one sister lives in Florida (we're in PA), so we were just happy that both of them and their families could come.

H shared a special dance with all of 4 his sisters who were there in honor of his mom, who is deceased, so they were all included that way.

And, I'm an only child, so no issues for him.

View Quoted Comment We are in the same boat! Nobody likes his brothers wife and there’s no way I’d ever have her as one of my bridesmaids. I’d be worried she’d try to sabatoge the day someone. Unfortunately for us his brother and his wife live in town so we have to see them at big events, its the worst.

FH and I each have 1 brother... he is not close with his brother at all (not even sure if he’s coming) but both of us are very close with my brother. He will be walking me down the aisle, and he’s our officiant! So he’s beyond bridal party hahhaa

My FH sister is one of my bridesmaids as well as 2 of my sisters and my cousin. My best friend is also a bridesmaid and my oldest sister is my MOH. He has our family on his side as well. We have a number of friends just not that many were close enough to ask to join our bridal party.

My brother was one of my H's groomsmen, so for him an in-law was involved

My H doesn't have any siblings so no in-laws in my group!
