My fiancé has had quite a bit of turmoil in the last 5+ years with some of his friends. His friends are like mine, there's just a handful and all close, tight knit for many many years. However this turmoil has gotten worse the last few years and 1: he feels obligated to chose them, 2: not sure on a BM, since one has been his BM in first marriage, 3: this is stressing him out immensely. These friends are invited to the wedding, but we know with recent actions they aren't exactly dependable or may have hurt feelings if another friend is picked over them for "best man".
Has anyone been to a wedding or seen a wedding that has a wedding party made up of only children?
I mentioned to him the other night we could do anything we wanted it is our wedding... we could have his daughter (17yr old), his nieces (10 and 7yr old), and his nephew (6yr old) be our wedding party if we wanted. (this idea made the stress and worry sort of lift right off of him) Any thoughts on this? Or having his sister and my sister be added to this? Is there a title for a female best man? Is this something that could work? Or am I just crazy? Any thoughts on sides for them to stand on? Or don't try to have them stand, just sit in the front pew and leave the standing to the bride, groom and officiant?
Figured with the kids we would have a ring bearer, a flower girl, a jr bridesmaid, and ____ of Honor. (something of honor? I mean she IS his daughter, and will be my Step daughter so she already has that title anyways...whatever the title will be)
