Best Man wants to wear Wedding Dress- Allow or Not Allow??

Is he gay?

I think its hilarious.

Um no, no no.

he better have been joking

Welcome to WW, Soraya! That sounds like a funny plan! But just that, a plan. Not an actual thing that happens. You still have a year, so maybe laugh it off for the time being. If closer to the wedding he's still bringing it up, then you can pull him aside and say, "It's a funny visual, and I get the meaning behind it, but this is our day, amd it's very special. I know you'll have a great toast for us and I know you'll respect our wishes for you to NOT be in a dress."

If you're going to stick around the forums (which you should, lots of help and tips on here!) I hope you'll update your avatar so we can remember you -- there's a lot of default rings and you don't want to get lost in the crowd! Here's how to do that and more: https://www.weddingwire.com/wedding-forums/new-to-the-weddingwire-forums-please-read-before-you-

That's hilarious but I would never actually let it happen.

I think i'd be like "ahhhhaaaaa that's really funny!" in a snide/ sarcastic voice.

Guests attending your wedding that don't know the close relationship you 3 have will be put off by the joke, at first it's funny- but then the dress has taken it to that "got carried away" point.

I'd just tell him not to waste his money on getting a dress, and to save his dignity. (nothing against cross dressers- but I don't think he is actually in reality a cross dresser) He may mention the closeness of the relationship between ur FH and him and the point will get across in his speech, without him being in a dress.

if he ends up doing it - laugh it off.

However as a bride I feel like I would be jealous that he would hint that his relationship with ur FH borderlines on better than u +FH's. Guys and their silly ideas... I tell ya!

Giggle and then say no.

I don't even think it's the attention issue. I think it goes beyond good taste.

Wow. I'm not sure what to say about that. That doesn't happen often.

So I'll just say what Mrs S said.

Well this made me giggle I wouldn't really make a big deal about his comments on crossdressing at your wedding, as the ladies have said before 1) he's probably not serious about it 2) he'll have plenty of time between now and your wedding to come to the realization of how ridiculous he would look doing this so try not to fret. Welcome to WW!

Maybe if he really keeps bringing it up, he can get a silly veil to wear during his speech and then take off. Then people will get that it's just a quick prop.

No way hose..thats just weird!

I'd say it's a bit too "attention-getting" for my taste. This day is a celebration for you and your FI, and while good humor always makes for a good party, this seems a bit over the top. Let him have a prop perhaps, and make sure his speech is PG rated and hope for the best

The veil seems like a better compromise... but if you don't wish him to do anything, then maybe your future husband needs to have a little talk with him. I agree, a dress is going a little far.

Welcome to WW Soraya ~ congrats ~

I get it, and it's kind of funny- but I think the dress might be a little much. Maybe he could do it with a prop instead of a full wardrobe change- like a bouquet or a veil as Tatyana suggested. It would still get laughs and be memorable without the shock factor.

It seems he just wants to show how close he is to the groom and also make himself look ridiculous at the same time. If it still makes you uncomfortable, then just be honest and ask if he'd consider a different option.

Way over the top.

Veil would be funny...dress, not so much.

If it's for comic relief it may go down as the best speech in history. If it's for a loving speech.. it will be really awkward and the worst. I'd have him write the speech, have him read it to you and then decide!

Kind of reminds me of this ;p

Wow, Thank you for all the advice and comments! I think the veil or small prop is a great idea!

Yeah you all may need to stop spending so much time with him. Lol!
