There was a big misunderstanding that recently happened with my groom's family. I was trying to remain neutral since his brother and father are both currently going through a divorce. His brother seems to think that I have sided with his brother's ex wife. The misunderstanding was that my groom's brother thinks I invited his ex-wife (the mother of the flower girl and ring bearer) to the wedding but I never did. This caused a HUGE fight between the brother's current girlfriend and me. The guys got involved and had a HUGE blowout and now my groom's brother is not in the wedding - groom told him not to bother coming due to this huge fight.
The other side of this is my groom's mother. She and my groom's father are separated and his mother has a boyfriend. His mother told me (not in so many words) that I HAD to invite her boyfriend. So now, with all the other drama with the brother I'm hoping that my groom's father isn't mad at me. I just don't know where to put myself. At this point my groom and I just want to get the whole thing over with. I know when the day comes it will all work out in the end, and everyone will act like adults, but what do I do in the meantime?
How much of this should I worry about? I know that my fiance isn't going to apologize to his brother. I'm thinking about keeping quiet from now on, but then I don't want to ruin any more relationships.

I'm not really a relationship counselor and for the most part we provide basic wedding etiquette advice here, but, we can surely offer an opinion.
This sounds mostly like your fiance's issues. Work out whatever you need to work out with your fiance and then let him deal with his family. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
