Thought I was in the clear for getting odd requests from parents but my mom just asked me who our sponsors will be. She is from the Philippines and asked who our "ninang" and "ninong" will be ("godmother" and "godfather") for the veil/candle/cord ceremonies are. I told her we're not doing a traditional Filipino ceremony because FH isn't Filipino and the mass ends up being super long. Then she said that we should at least have primary "godparents" and is suggested that I ask her closest friend whom I know but would never go to for wedding advice/reaffirmation to the church. She sounded hurt when I explained that we weren't planning on having any sponsors and, even if we did, it probably wouldn't be her friend. She hasn't asked for anything and I can tell it means a lot to her for us to have sponsors even if I didn't choose her friend. Should I just do it? The only addition would be that they are also in the processional and are recognized on invitations and at the reception.
