Grandfather as best man?

Babydoll1230

Hi guys... my fiance's dad is kinda out of the picture and has been for a while. Im sure he will show up to the wedding, but my fiance's grandfather (his dad's dad) is super close with him and is more of a father figure. My fiance also doesnt have very many close friends, because all of his friends kinda are stuck in party get drunk and effed up every night mode while he is growing up. So my man really wants to ask his grandfather to be his best man at our wedding. i am all for it and adore his grandpa and think it would be wonderful and that grandpa would feel honored.  I was just wondering what all u thought about it? any thoughts or comments? then only thing i think he wouldnt be involved in would be the bachelor party but one of the groomsmen could take that responsibility i think. Lemme know thanks! xoxo

I have heard of guys having their fathers as best men, so I don't think there would be any issue with the grandfather being best man. You should always pick wedding party members based on who you are closest too, rather than who plans the best parties, etc, so the grandfather seems perfectly qualified.

The Best Man should be your FI best friend.  If that grandpa, then I do not see a problem.

I think that sounds like a really wonderful idea and I bet Grandpa would be honored.

He won't know until he asks.  I'll bet grandpa will be thrilled.

My boyfriend was the best man in his grandpa's wedding last spring.  His grandpa could have asked one of his friends, but didn't and I know my boyfriend was really honored by it.  I'm sure your fiance's grandfather will be too.

I think it's an adorable idea, and I think his grandpa will be very honored.
