FI and I have lately decided to go public with our engagement to our families. Most of them were excited. Including our mothers (we dont talk to either of our fathers) His cousins and my one sister and our friends. HOWEVER, when iwas younger my oldest sister became my mother but recently within two months she kicked me out and we had a huge issue so i was to move back in with my mother which i did. I asked all my bridesmaids and they all accepted. but when it came time to ask that same sister if her daughter could be my flower girl and her my last bridesmaid she denied it and said she will not be around my mother at all an neither will her daughter. i was very close to thsi sister considering she raised me. i just dotn know what to do. I've went thru my crying phase, my mad phase, but right now im just hurt to the biggest extreme, she is a big important person in my life to deny being a bridesmaid none the less neither her OR my two neices (who had become like my sisters) to even be attending the wedding upsets me. any suggestions on handling it ? i still have quite a while till the actual wedding its planned for either august 2012 or October 2012.
