Question about best man and groomsmen?

So I always dreamed that my wedding would have MOH, bridesmaids, groomsmen and best man for my FH. I have tons of people I could invite to the wedding or be a part of it but my FH is sort of a loner, he doesn't really have any close close friends or best friend or really any family that he...

So I always dreamed that my wedding would have MOH, bridesmaids, groomsmen and best man for my FH. I have tons of people I could invite to the wedding or be a part of it but my FH is sort of a loner, he doesn't really have any close close friends or best friend or really any family that he particularly cares about. I really want him to have a best man and a few groomsmen, but he says there isn't really anyone he wants to be it or thinks would come even if he invited them.

I don't want the entire wedding party and guests to be JUST my friends and family and am a little disappointed about this. I have suggested he could pick one of his sons, or one of our mutual guy friends, or my sisters boyfriend as his best man and groomsmen but he just says no.... The only one friends he really would like to be best man lives states away from us and he says he doesn't think he would make the trip for it so he won't ask him. I guess I just don't know how to feel about this or what to do?

    @Tiffany I think that's what FH is worried about. He would rather have no one at all to count on rather than being disappointed and let down again by having them no call no show again. I guess now I can see his point.

    All that truly matters is that you are marrying the love of your life. All the other stuff should just be gravy. Is having a bestman/groomsmen etc. worth making your husband feel uncomfortable on your wedding day? The more you try to force it the more you are just going to hurt your fiancè. The more you force this you are just going to make him feel bad for not being able to give your the "dream" wedding you want.
