Am I overreacting?

We have recently asked a family member of mine to be godmother. We put her reaction video in our joint group chat with both families. No reaction or response from his side. Next day, we went round to pick up some bits and I asked his dad if he saw the video of us asking her, so basically then addressing the fact we asked her. He said ‘yeah it’s lovely’. He then waited until I went to the toilet and was out of earshot to ask my partner if we were going to have his sister as godmum aswell as she was upset she wasn’t asked. He of course then told me so I asked him to ring his mum and clarify what was said. She didn’t and completely glazed over it and tried to change the subject and just said ‘she’s not upset upset but maybe call her and explain why she wasn’t asked’. She also said she thought she would be asked because she had her sister as godmother for her children. Now, if she isn’t upset, why do we need to explain our choice to her? And why would they expect us to do what they did? We spoke to his sister and she categorically confirmed this was NOT the case. She was not upset and completely understood our decision and thought it was lovely. Am I overthinking/overreacting or is this a bit shady and been handled completely the wrong way by my other halves parents?

Parents seem shady here. If sister says she's not upset but mum is giving you this backstory, it seems like projecting tbh.
