Selecting your wedding party, who to choose?

I am in the process of selecting my wedding party. I want to include my sister, cousin, sister-in-law and one of my friends but I am also being pressured to include my future sister-in-law. My mother-in-law to be and her friends and family have been mentioning it. My fiance is against it. We get along alright but we've never been entirely friendly. Let's just say I wouldn't call her to go out to lunch with or catch a show with. What do you think? Is it against better etiquette not to include her? Should I just suck up and add her in?

When I get married in the summer, we have the same situation, except the roles are reversed. My brother will probably be a part of the groom's side. There is no question about that happening.
In your situation, it's totally up to you. One question you should ask, is how many people are supposed to be in the wedding party? That may help you make your decision.

normally i would say you should include her because the wedding party should be chosen my both the bride and groom, but if your fiancé doesn't want to inlcude his sister, then i don't think it is necessary.
i doubt that you will even care in the future if you add her in unless she messes up and ruins things.
however, if you do grow to like her in the future, you may regret not including her. things to think about.

This is your day to be selfish. I can tell you one thing from a man's point of view. We did not play with barbies when we were younger acting out a wedding that we wished we could some day have. We did it with GI Joes...j/k. This day is about you. Do not let the pressure get to you cause you won't be able to please everyone. If you have everything planned out, don't make any last minute exceptions!
