Wedding party dilemma

Jordan, on September 8, 2019 at 4:01 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 8
We are having a same sex wedding and will probably be having an all men wedding party. The dilemma is that, for my FH, he's having his friend as the best man (A) and even though I want A's partner (B) to be in my wedding party, I was only thinking of B as one of my groomsmen and somebody else as my best man.

Could anybody shed some light on this matter? Much appreciated!

    Like, should I have B as my best man so that A and B could plan and organize things together or have my other friend (C) be my best man. I'm just a little unsure if that would make B feel like I don't see him as important.

    It’s not their responsibility to plan or organize anything. Being a wedding party member is an honor whether you’re groomsman or best man. You shouldn’t make someone your best man out of guilt.

    I think if you want C to be your best man you should just ask him. Your partners relationship with A shouldn't dictate whether you ask B to be just a GM versus BM. If B wants to help A plan stuff then he totally still could

    One of my bridesmaids is the wife of my fiances best man and they totally understand. My bridesmaid feels just as important and was ecstatic when we asked them together. At the end of the day, it's your wedding and your friends will most likely just be happy to be a part of your day regardless of where they stand for the ceremony. I'm even going to have my fiances best man wait for his wife during the recessional so they can walk together.

    You shouldn’t feel obligated to ask B to be your BM. It’s your choice. Just because A is your fiancé’s BM, does not mean their spouse needs to be yours. As PP said, they should be honored either way! Neither of the spouses of my fiancé’s BM or GM are even in my wedding party, and his BM is his brother. I think they will understand it’s up to you!

    Congrats! My FW and I are having an all-female bridal party.

    Her MOH is in a relationship, but we did not choose the MOH's spouse to be my honored attendant (even though we are close).

    My best friend is my MOH. I think you are in the clear if you choose "C" to be your best man! Smiley smile
