In an ideal world, the bride's maids/groom's men are the best friends/one's that are the closest. Apparently, the bride does not feel close to any of you. I, personally, would try to let this go. In the grand scheme of things being in the wedding party is but a very, very small blip on the roadmap of life.
I wouldn't mind having siblings of my SO in a wedding. I just feel that wedding parties need to consist of people from both sides. I had another brother who died eight years ago. I'm sure if he was alive today he would be the best man.
