Best Woman...?

You are completely and 100% overreacting.

How is this outrageous or inappropriate???

My sister is going to be my "best man" and I'm thrilled.

You are over- reacting. If she is one of the people he feels closest with then she belongs up there regardless of what you think. Also before he was your man she was his sister.

You're absolutely overreacting. That's his sister and they're close. That's not weird to me. How you are reacting is the weird part.

...JFC THAT'S HIS SISTER!!!!!!!!

"Another woman standing next to my man"...I'm 10000% certain that he has been near other women at a GROCERY STORE, does that irritate you too? I can't even right now. Wtf.

I think you are completely over reacting. My FH has his daughter as his Best Girl. I'm making her a sign to carry that says Daddy's Best Girl. Her being called the Best Woman isn't going to take anything away from you. If anything, take it to mean she's the Best Woman for the job to stand by his side as he marries the love of his life.

Have you talked to him about this?

I don't think she's "another woman" but his best friend and sister. I think it's fine. Would it make you feel better to have her be on your side?

Wow just wow... Perhaps you should seek counseling, that level of insecurity is definitely a sign of a deeper issue. My fh's sister is one of his best friends, she's also one of mine. And right now we're trying to decide who will ask her to stand with them when the time comes to ask. But honestly I'm leaning towards him asking her and me having my brother stand with me. This is definitely a you problem.

One of my really good friends from my previous job wanted to be his best woman. But we decided with me living in California and him in NYC it was not feasible.

His wife was completely supportive of it and actually, I think she suggested it to him because he could not decide.

You're definitely overreacting. We're only having my brother on our bridal party and he's standing on my side as my man of honor. It's becoming much more common for this to occur.

It's like me having my best friend, who happens to be a guy, standing beside me and calling him the "man of honor". I just feel like the groom gets a best man, sure. I'm his best woman tho. Neither of us shld use our wedding as an opportunity to honor anyone of the opposite sex other than eachother and perhaps our parents. It feels inappropriate to me. Not only because it's unconventional but also for optics sake, in my opinion it's off. Idk tho...

You can have a man of honor.

You can have friends of the opposite sex.

It is perfectly appropriate to have friends of the opposite sex.

You do not overreact that he loves his FAMILY.

Nobody is going to take the attention off of you and he on your wedding day.

If it was a friend I could see being upset and I would NOT be having that.

Since it's his sister, I think you should let it roll. If it's the name that bothers you maybe just think of something else. Groomsgal. Idk. Lol.

I don't want to say you're overreacting because you are jealous. Jealousy about some things is normal.

I would support him in it because it's his day too. you're the bride. No ones going to steal your shine on your day or to your guy.

We will have 1 bridesman, 1 groomswoman, 3 bridesmaids (2 wearing suits), and 3 groomsmen. If you're expecting anybody on here to agree with or support your sexist views, you've come to the wrong forum.

My FH's best friend is going to be his Best Woman. I'm totally happy with it, because I know she cares for my FH a lot and they have always been there for each other. Would you feel differently if that was his brother? I guess I'm not quite sure what about her gender affects her ability to stand next to him on the biggest day of his life. A positive way to look at it would be to be glad that she endorses your relationship with him so strongly that she wants to stand up there with you both while you say your vows. i would say give it a few days to mull over, and search online for examples of mixed gender wedding parties. It's very common.

As it's become more and more socially acceptable to have friends of the opposite sex it's become more common place to have those friends of the opposite sex stand with you on your wedding day. I think you're reading waayy to much into this

OP, how old are you? This level of insecurity is a little alarming. You're the one he's marrying and at the end of the day you will be his wife. If he feels like his sister is one of his closest friends and she's the one he wants never to him to support him then she should be there. The term "best woman" isn't being used to say she's better than you it's just a play off of best man. He should be free to choose who he wants to stand next to him at his own wedding.

Your FH gets to decide who he wants as his best man/woman. You are over-reacting.

You can't be serious. You literally sound crazy.
