Wedding Party

Wedding Party Disagreement

My fiance & I agree on everything for our wedding so far, except for the wedding party. We each have a sister and a brother.

He is having four of his close friends, which is fine with me; however, I asked him to include my brother, who I'm close with. My brother is going to be really hurt if he isn't asked & I think it will cause hard feelings in my family. He doesn't want to ask my brother because then he'll have to include his brother, who he's not close with. I'm asking his sister to be a bridesmaid and my sister is my matron of honor. I think it's only right to include family in the wedding party, especially if it means a lot to one of us. I told him I would include anyone he wanted in my side of the party.

Do you think it's wrong of me to push the issue to have him include my brother?

Re: Wedding Party Disagreement

  • It really is pretty common now to have a guy stand on the bride's side or vice versa.  I think that having your brother on your side would be a good solution.  Also, as pp said, your FI could include his brother in another way if he isn't comfortable asking him to be a GM.  Usher or reader woud still be an honor for him.

    If I had a brother, I imagine I'd be annoyed if he didn't include my bro as a groomsman. I'm including my FI's sister as a BM too.

    This is assuming he has'nt asked his friends yet.

    But yes, I think it's fine to have your bro on your side.
  • My FI has a TON of friends/family. He didn't really have room on his side for my brother but loves him. I chose to have my brother walk me down the aisle; if he couldn't do that he would have been on my side as a bridesman.
