I didn't find a thread that was close enough to our dilemma to be very helpful to me, so here it goes: My fiance and I waited til 6 months into our year & a half long engagement to select our wedding party, but now, 6 months later & about 4 months away from our wedding date, my fiance is regretting one of his groomsman choices. I realize now that we should have waited longer to pick the WP. The circumstances of their friendship have changed in the past few months to the point where we both don't feel comfortable with this guy being a part of the wedding anymore. Part of it is because he's a negative person who hates going out anywhere especially where alcohol is involved.. he hates it when his fiancee even has 1 drink.. basically he's just an all-around negative person to be around and it shows. We don't want to risk his negativity affecting our wedding. My fiance understands that by uninviting him, he is risking losing the friendship if this person takes it really badly.
Also adding to the awkwardness is the fact that the guy's fiancee, brother, and brother's wife are all in the wedding party too. Not sure how offended they will be by the removal of that GM. I know my fiance should have waited a few more months before picking groomsmen since relationships can change in a year, but of course he didn't anticipate this happening otherwise he would not have picked this person.
Has anyone here had to take someone out of the WP? How did you approach it? Any advice would be much appreciated!
