So in the Greek wedding ceremony, there's a koumbara and a koumbaro (sp?). They play a role in the ceremony, pretty important.
We thought we were going to ask these close friends of ours, but the family started pressuring us to ask FH's cousin. Unfortunately, I had told our friends that they were our first choice and it was just a matter of officially asking them. Meanwhile, FH had a fight with the girl and they weren't on speaking terms over the holidays!
FH and I talked it over and we have a weird history with these two, we've stopped talking a few times for like a year or 2 at a time, sometimes less, but it still has happened a few times. We ultimately decided that we should appease the family and ask FH's cousin (whom i love btw).
FH's cousin is super ecstatic and, in turn, makes ME happy!
Oh another problem, the original girl is my Godmother.
So, I emailed the original couple explaining our decision and how it's family and even though we feel terrible, we'd still like them to be in our bridal party.
They say they are hurt by our decision and decline to be in the BP.
Oh well. I'm a little upset, but if that's what they want, then what can I do? I will send another email apologizing for the mess, but I think that's all i can do.
Whoa this is LONG!! Sorry kids.

That stinks they reacted this way... they have to understand that family comes first... especially since the girl and FH weren't on speaking terms...

You made the best decision for you and FH. They weren't even on speaking terms! She should understand, especially when it comes to family.

What a sticky situation. I think you handled it as well as you could, and yes, they should understand that family comes first.
I think another e-mail apologizing for the whole thing is a nice idea, and hopefully they'll see that you're writing it from your heart.
Sounds like it's for the best, given the problems you guys have had with them in the past..

These 2 have always butted heads! Since college! I'm almost positive that every time we stop talking to them is a result of the 2 of them fighting about something.

tough situation. One one hand it's your godmother which is or should be like family. But family is still family.
Imo, i'd give them a few days to calm down gather their thoughts and for you to do the same. Then i'd apologize again if that's what you'd like to do.
