    So long story short- Fiance and his sister have always had an up and down relationship. (Their parents divorced very badly and she kind of took her mom's side, while he took his dads.) Well right now, it is down and they haven't really spoken since Christmas. We have wanted one of his nephews to be the ring bearer since the beginning and regardless of how things are with them right now, we still want them involved. His sister and I have never had any issues but I have been wanted to get in the middle so I have kind of laid low with everything. Well I asked his sister about having one of the boys be the ring bearer on Monday and she has not replied. I just sent another text today and I really don't think she is going to reply to me.

    Now both fiance and sister are at fault here: she is rude and gets down on him for a lot of things when they are together and he does always follow through with visiting (in which she always reminds him about) so I am not excusing anyone. But being in the middle is frustrating. I just want things to go smoothly for the wedding and now I feel like his sister won't come at all. I don't know what to do. Also, fiance is very stubborn about this situation so there isn't really the option of him reaching out to her.

    Im sorry. :( this sort of thing really sucks. My SO sister got into a fight with him around new years and things have just been coming around. I didint want to get into the middle either but she basically started blaming there arguments on me. She sent me a nasty text message saying I was the reason why her and her brother dont talk anymore. I did nothing wrong and it was very frustrating. I couldnt talk to my SO about it cause he would get very mad and it would cause us to argue. No matter what that is his sister and you cant change that or how hes going to feel no matter how wrong his sister is. You cant controll is she wont respond to you. If she cant put things aside for your wedding then thats horrible and childish. I think it would be time to start looking for a new ring bearer if she continues to ignore you :/ Im sorry I hope things get better for you.

    Well she did reply to me which I am happy about. She said that it would be hard for her to pick one out of the three boys so basically all of the boys would berings bearers or none. I understand that but I also feel like that is ridiculous. I am going to suggest having all of them involved somehow like passing out programs or something, but if that is not good enough then I am done. Is that fair?

    I don't think that her reasoning is ridiculous.  I think she just feels that she doesn't want to have to deal with any drama that might arise in explaining that your aunt and uncle want one over the others.  Having them all do something like hand out programs is a great idea.

    @ememkay:  Are the boys close in age? I see her point - the other boys might feel left out.

    @ememkay:  I think that is a fair decision. :)
