Who should be in the bridal party?

Question

We are working on our bridal party this week. The groom is all set, his two brothers, two friends, and the bride's younger brother.

Me, the bride, not so much. I am not close with many girls, as my best friends are my younger brother and my future husband. 

My parents both have children from previous marriages. Since there is a large age gap between us, I really never grew up with them or was ever close to them. I was in one brother's wedding (my mom's son), but was not in my Dad's kids weddings (not even invited to come to my sister's wedding). Since my nieces were born, I have become closer with my Mom's son's wife since I watch the girls a lot. I would really like to ask her to be a bridesmaid, but I'm not so sure. I don't even know if my brother would really want to be in the wedding anyway since guys are weird like that sometimes...

Would it be weird to ask my sister-in-law and none of my other older siblings?

As a rule, if you have to have a second thought about any one person, they do not belong in your wedding party.

In my opinion, only have the number of people required by law as witnesses, usually two. Anything more is just for show, and who wants their wedding to be a show?
