My current best female friend is my MoH. But I was great friends with her ex-boyfriend before they started dating, and his older brother is my other best friend (my fiance and I have the same friends). SO The older Brother is my Best man, and the EX boyfriend is a Groomsman. She is the MoH. What do I do? 

She constantly brings up things like "I hope i dont get drunk and say somethings i shouldn't at the wedding about "a-hole" (her nickname for him which makes me a little angry)" Or she will say "I swear we better not walk down the isle together". Etc. CLEARLY I would not make her do something like that. And They have been separate for almost 2 years now. And she is dating a new guy.  (Also she has no idea he was dating a girl for about a year after her, and got her pregnant, and engaged, but now separated) And I will not tell her that, but the pregnant girl will not be invited. 

Any tips on how to handle all this? I am not going to uninvite either one, i just want to  know how to handle some situations etc. Frown

    When she makes comments like that say something along the lines of "no kidding, I hope you can act like an adult for one day!"

    Seriously??
    My FH and I have the same friends too... and one of MY exes is a groomsman! 

    I agree with ShellyDiane820: say, "no kidding, I hope you can act like an adult for one day!"

    She can handle it... My friend and BM had to be in a wedding (his sisters) with her ex who had been cheating on her for over a year about one week after they found out... And they were fine (and only one glass got broken over it =p) Nobody else was ever the wiser... they just sat at different tables and did not walk down the aisle together

    My MOH and BM HATE each other. We usually have to leave one out of group things cuz they've proven they can't behave.

    BUT when we talked to them about the wedding, they promised to behave and we're trusting them. BM is FI's best friend and MOH is mine, they love us enough to put differences aside.

    I think they should be able to be adults and don't make them do crazy things together. Like a WP dance...not needed.

    And agree with pp, when she says stuff like that just smile and say "I hope you can act like an adult."
