Question...

If the best man is married does his wife have to be part of the wedding party?

My FI thinks that she should be....WTH?!?

Is that wrong that I don't like her like that and don't want her as part of the wedding party?
perhaps im just a b*t*h.

    no....she doesnt have to be. you want YOUR close friends on your side. unless you're friends with her too, then no, i wouldnt have her stand for me... well, not unless FI compromised with me over something else. bwaha...but that might be just me being semi evil. hahahahaaaaaa

    Absolutely not! You are not being a b*tch at all - the people you choose to have in your wedding are the people that are closest to you.

    I agree with PP. You shouldnt be forced to have anyone in your wedding just b/c they are married to a GM.

    nope, she doesn't.

    I will say that because we had bridal party members that were married we didnt do a head table, we let them sit with their spouses.  we did a sweetheart table.

    She doesn't have to be in the wedding party. It's probably a little more comfortable for her but doesn't mean it's a requirement

    Thank you all for the responses! I will talk to FI about it and see what he says.
    thanks again!

    Wedding parties =/= prom. What if every attendant's spouse/SO was in the WP? Doesn't make much sense, does it? Don't ask anyone to be up there with you unless you WANT them up there with you.

    I agree with everyone, Heck no she doesn't have to be in your wedding. There is no way a person you do not like has to be apart of your day. I mean HELLO it's your day.

    Like I told my fiance his brother is his best man and he is married. His wife is invited and more than welcome to sit at the family table. But will not be in the wedding

    NEGATIVE! lol no one HAS to be in the wedding. My honey's twin will be his BM and I highly doubt that I will be putting his wife (my SIL) in the wedding. She should be happy to even be invited lol. Enjoy planning and dont let something like this to stree you out. Also I have a q? the jstratton photo, did you get a package that was 499? I dont have alot to spend on a photographer.
