Sorry another question! Father of the groom as a groomsmen?

Why not? I think that's very sweet and id prob get emotional seeing his choice day of.

Also date (sister?) haha I'm one day after you!

I don't think it's necessarily common. I do think it's sweet. In many ceremonies, the father of the groom just sits with his spouse if he has one and watches the show. I believe Jewish ceremonies have both sets of parents up front, though?

I've seen an upswing in including parents and grandparents in bridal parties...so sweet

I think it's very sweet to want him as a groomsman.

I wanted my mom to be my MOH but she thought it was silly. So my 8 year old Daughter is my MOH then I have my 6 close friends as BM. I did this because the 6 of us are super close and I could not pick just one to be MOH.

I think it would be so sweet for your FH to do that. It is different and I have never heard anything like it before.

I've seen fathers be a Best Man before. I think it's sweet and any dad would be honored!

He can have whoever he wants and the same for you.

My friends brother did this when he got married, it was super sweet!

My brother had our dad as his best man. It was sweet and my dad was over the moon about it.

I thought it was a cute idea too i wouldn't tell him no but i didn't know if it was common or if his dad should be doing something else ....i planned on having him walk down with FMIL and take their seats up front but i guess i can have my mom and his mom walk uo together

It's pretty common where I'm from for the groom to have his dad as his best man. There really isn't any other "role" the father of the groom needs to be doing that day anyways.

This can be a tradition for some in the south! FH's dad is his best man

Sure thing. I've had a lot of dads in the BP's

Sounds good to me! Super sweet. The only role I can think of that the FOG has is sit down in a special seat up front and have their names listed in the program? Not anything really specific to ceremonies I have been to.

DH asked his father to be his best man. It was super easy since my mom walked down with DH's grandfather. DH's mom walked him down the aisle. His mom gave him away to me as my dad gave me away to him. It was super sweet. Even though DH is not very close with his father, it was a good way to bring their relationship closer in my opinion.

I went to a wedding where the groom's dad was the best man. I thought it was cute!

FH's dad will be a groomsman in our wedding. He means a lot to FH so why not. He'll just walk down the aisle in a different order.

Where I live this is very common. FH is having his dad as his best man.

I had no idea this was so common! Thanks guys

FH is thinking about asking his grandfather to be a groomsman. They are very close and he's probably the best friend that FH has.
