Man of Honor

My best friend is a guy. But he is also my ex. I know many people would think it's messed up but we are best friends. My FI and him get along great and he would love for him to be in our wedding. He saw me through the death of both my parents. I'm 27 and my mom died last year and dad in 2009. He has always been a great friend and he says I'm like a sister. We broke up over two years ago. Would it be hard for him or wrong of me to ask, he mentioned it but not sure if he was joking. I'm also concerned with people gossiping and drama. But through caring for my parents after college my life has been spent w them and close friendships are limited.

Re: Man of Honor

  • I wouldn't care what other people thought except for FI. Are you sure he's OK with it? If FI is 100% fine with it, then I would ask your friend/ex and let him decide if he wants to do it or not. If you are all good friends and he is there for you, I don't see an issue with it, though it is a rare situation. Again, make sure FI is cool with it.

    Talk to your fiance. I actually don't think it's weird at all to have a friend who is also an ex. He and I were super close until very recently, now we're just close (distance, time, we don't get to talk much) and I considered having him in my bridal party. My fiance would have been cool with that. As long as there's no problems between him and your fiance- go for it.

    Ask him to be your best man.  He'll say yes.  Everyone will be happy, right?  Right!

    I agree with everyone else. As long as Fi is OK with it, then go for it. Don't worry about anyone else.
