I think all 3 of you need to sit down, and calmly discuss this..

Are you & your brother close? Does your brother often get upset at something like this? If he never does, maybe there's more to the story..

If your brother & sis in-law always cause drama, I wouldn't worry about it then. But if they never really cause anything, then maybe you need to re-consider their feelings.

There needs to be a comprimise here. The ex really was a true friend to you during a difficult time in your life. That just doesn't go away. Your brother & sis in-law are hurting, and that also needs to be respected..

But you are not the bad guy here. You wanted to show your gratitude, and there's nothing wrong with that. But like someone else said, that this is an emotional topic, but it needs to be talked through. Otherwise, people let years go by without speaking to one another..
