My fiancé and I are trying to pick our wedding party. I have two SILs that I'd like to include. I was in both of their weddings. We'll call my brother's wife A, my brothers B and C, my fiancé's sister D and her husband E.
D recently was married to E and my fiancé and I were both in their wedding party. So if we include D, we probably should include E. Not a huge problem though my fiancé would probably rather not. It's a small, tightknit family we see a lot.. But I want to include A. I've known her for a very long time, was a bridesmaid, am an aunt to her children. My fiancé is not tight with her husband/my brother, B (we don't live near them.) Friendly when we visit, sure, but not close enough and TBH he's probably not down for all the festivities anyway. Is it weird if I include SIL A and not her husband, B? (I will say I will probably have their children as a junior bridesmaid and ringbearer, along with C's daughter as JB.) I can't include one brother, and not the other...but like I said, my fiancé isn't close to either and if we do include them, our wedding party is getting far too large and we're trying to avoid that.
Does that make us rude? I know it's our wedding and we can do what we want, but I just don't want to offend anyone. If you've followed along--thank you.
