I am having my wedding, and my brothers do not want to attend due to the fact that there will be music played. My family and I never listen to music, but my fiancé and his family do listen to music. Is it permissible to listen to music in the said case

The mentioned situation does not justify playing music in the wedding and breaking the religious rulings.
