My husband and I are only married through the court right now, but we are planning to have our formal ceremony within the year. I have never really gotten along with my husband's sister or his cousin, but he is really close to them, and I hang out with them out of obligation. My husband's cousin and my husband's best friend are getting married and I was "asked" to be a bridesmaid. My husband is planning on asking his bestfriend to be part of our wedding party but I do not want to ask his cousin or his sister. Am I obligated to ask them?

Dear Lissa,
You are already married, so there shouldn't be a 'wedding' ceremony. A court wedding is still a wedding. There shouldn't be attendants as there is no wedding party. It can still be a ceremony, but it would be a vow renewal. Please read more about vow renewal etiquette.
