We are having a wedding in a few months, and a couple who was in both parties for the wedding is now in divorce proceedings. It wasn't the worst divorce in the world, but there isn't much goodwill between the two now.
The guy is the bestman, and the girl is a bridesmaid. We would still love both to come, but we have realized that it isn't going to be possible. We would really like to avoid the uneasiness, awkwardness and everyone worrying if they are ok. It would ruin our wedding weekend.
Is it ok to uninvite someone in the wedding party because of this and how would we do it? Is it out of line? We don't want to hurt anyones feelings, but this is just an unfortunate turn of events.
Thanks for the advice

It wouldn't be nice to "uninvite" these bridal party members since they went through all of the planning and bought the accessories, etc. Plus, if these people were both important enough to you for them to have asked to be included in your bridal party then they should not be excluded now. Asking either party to step down would be insulting because you are insinuating that they wouldn't know how to behave properly. Let the two individuals decide if they can be adult enough to attend this event together. It is up to them.
