This is mostly a vent. My FI has two siblings: a brother and sister. His brother will be his best man. Our wedding is still 7 months away and we haven't finalized a lot of details, but when FI recently talked to his brother, he was making comments about bringing a date. The thing is, brother lives out of state and doesn't have a girl friend. He is actually kind of a player and has never had a serious relationship. I actually think it is weird that he is asking about bringing a date because 1) he's not dating anyone, 2) if he does bring a date, it will be bringing a girl on a weekend trip, which seems like a big step with any girl (very uncharacteristic of him) and 3) she won't know anyone and will be alone through the ceremony and cocktail hour since brother is the BM, so it seems more of a pain to bring someone than to just come alone. This is all kind of silly and talking about it seems premature to me, so FI has sort of blown it off so far. We just figured he wouldn't bring a date because of the above reasons and I"m a little annoyed that 1) he assumes he gets a date even though he's not dating anyone and 2) that he wants to bring someone we've never met to our wedding. Recently he said he will probably just call up one of his old college "dates" (I won't call them girlfriends because he's never really had one) to show up at the wedding.
The truth is, we'll probalby just let him bring a date if he wants to because we have the space, I'm more annoyed about the entitlement of it. What do you guys think? Is he being rude or am I just being too sensitive (its been known to happen!).
