So, HTB's long time best friend doesn't support our relationship ( and verbally never has ) and has declined being best man. Their friendship is really rocky right now and while I want to be supportive and allow for my man to nuture his relationship..I'm really conflicted. The (ex)best friend and his fiance ( of 7 years) pubically disapprove of our union and have said some pretty nasty things about me, all of them untrue. Neither of them really gave me an honest try from the beginning. While for me, this is no big loss because it's been years and it doesn't really effect me or our life, now with the wedding...
Asking him to be best man was sort of a last ditch, and he said no. The fiance is super fake and catty and to make matters more complicated, our ceremony is going to be VERY tiny due to venue restrictions, and we're having a bigger party a few weeks later. The ceremony itself is for our closest friends and family, most of our family can't even come due to size. My closest friends aren't bringing their partners due to size. My FH feels if we don't invite both ex bf and the fiance it'll do permanent damage and he really wants to invite them to salvage whatever semblance of a friendship they might have. I told him I'd support him but I'm having serious second thoughts and a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that my godparents won't be there but two people who are nasty and publicly hate me will. How can I reconcile this? Advice please!!!
