in Wedding Party
So we picked our party about 9 months ago, wedding is in 4 months. FI picked one of my brothers to be a GM, he's very close with him. He's not close with my other brother.I am close with my brother, probably more close with him then I am my sister (MOH) or brother (GM)...None of the tux's or anything are picked out/ordered yet.I've already told FI that I'd somehow like him to be involved, as I'm really close with him. Would it be weird to ask him to be in the bridal party, and FI's GM, if it was okay with FI? (He wouldn't care either way) or should I find something else for him to do.... which I'm lost on..... I have 6 BM (5 and 1 MOH) and he has 5 GM ( 4 and 1 BM) Thoughts/ideas?

    If you are close to him, he can stand up for you on your side.  If FI is not close the your brother, he shouldn't be forced to have him on "his" side.  BPs don't need to to be even, nor do they need to be seperated by gender. 
    Holy Crap. We survived the first year!

    I would ask your brother to be your attendant if you are close with him. He can wear a tux (either the same as the GMs, or with a tie to match your BM dresses) and just stand with your BMs. He can walk in/out of the ceremony solo, walking next to another GM, or he can escort a bridesmaid. Asking him to do a reading is also an honor.

    Why not have your brother on your side as you are the one close to him

    My brother would not stand on my side with all the women... he'd feel really embarrassed. He also told me "as long as you don't make me read, I can help you with what ever"... FI and him aren't not close, they get along well. I'd really just like my whole family to be a part, as his whole family is a part of it as well (his step sister is a BM of mine, even though he's close to her). We would only ask my brother if FI said he'd have no problem with it...Thoughts of other jobs maybe if it won't work out?

    retread - it's not a numbers thing. We don't care if it's even. my brother won't feel comfortable standing with all the girls, and having my brother, and all the other guys, on the other side.
