I'm going to be a BM for a good friend. She recently texted me to ask if FI would be joining me, and mentioned that she was deciding if my FI and H of another BM would join us at the head table. I've been mulling over it, as she mentioned it a few days ago, but within the past week.
FI wouldn't know ANYBODY, and it's a pain in the ass to get him to take time off from work. (He's a workaholic, but in total denial.) In addition, I WANT to sit next to him, because (rumor has it) I adore him!
I was thinking that I would just send her a text saying, "FI and other BM's H would really appreciate sitting with us, especially because they won't know many people". Should I sugar coat it a little more, or is that totally appropriate? I'm normally pretty blunt, but I do know that she is really stressed out about the wedding and things outside of the wedding right now, so I'm trying to be considerate of that.
