My fiance has a total of 8 groomsmen, but he is not especially close with any of them. Many are from college and live far away, and then there are a group of military friends.
He's not particularly close with any of my family and he only has sisters.

I'm really concerned at this point because its putting a damper on how he feels for the wedding...like he says he would be excited but isnt because of this, and he feels slightly embarrassed.
I understand how he feels, I think society has put a really big pressure on the "best man" and not nearly as much on the MOH!

Anybody have experience with alternatives? Like co-best men? He is super close with his dad but thinks that wouldnt look right...anyone have their dad as the best man?

My fiance isn't having groomsmen. he doesn't feel like any of the "contenders" are worthy enough of standing by him on our day. his dad is officiating our ceremony so i think thats most important since he'd more than likely have him as his best man. i think since its all about you two you need to make it just that. my mom is my maid of honor and i think your fiance should absolutely have his dad as his best man!
