Wedding gift ettiquite for a wedding you don't want to attend?
I suppose the title sounds a little harsh and straightforward (just don't go, right?), but my future brother-in-law is getting married. Neither my boyfriend or I want to go because the couple has been stepping all over us lately (not to mention no one wants to see them get married) but my boyfriend has been asked to be the best man.
[Just for clarification, by "stepping all over us" I mean that they've rung up over $2,000 on our electric bill, destroyed our rental property and the furniture in it (to the point that it had to be bulldozed), and tried to purchase a house we had been looking into. This, combined with our already stressed finances managed to send my boyfriend to the hospital yesterday.]
As cheap as this sounds, do we have to get them a gift? I hardly feel justified in buying them a blender as a formality when we have lost so much to them already. And secondly (bonus question!), can my boyfriend deny his brother's request to be the best man? The groomsmen may be stepping out soon as well.

2. I'd personally send something as a gift just because you will be family. But I can see why you'd want to skip it and I don't think not sending one is a big deal either.
How did they wreck a house SO bad it had to be bulldozed?? How did you and your H get stuck with a 2000 dollar electric bill?? How can they afford a house?? How old are they??
