Hi all! I haven't yet graduated from LIW, and it'll be a while until I do, but this concerns my bf.
He's been made best man at his "best friend"s wedding this July. Bf isn't the type to go to a bachelor party, let alone organize one. He completely doesn't approve of neither this relationship nor wedding and thinks the marriage will only lead to disappointment. Because they've been friends for a very long time and bf was there for him in his time of need, it only seemed "fit" that he would be his best man. Best friend is a very demanding person and is getting angry with bf for not upholding his duties.
Their wedding has a HUGE bridal party. Something like 27 people including bride and groom. Groom's half has 10 people including BF.
Should I tell him to suck it up and just do his duties, or should he confront his best friend and withdraw from being Best Man, especially when he has many to choose from?
The latter will lead to a ton of disappointment, but I'm a firm believer that a wedding is something sacred. If Bf is standing next to them during the ceremony and he thinks the entire thing is a sham, it poisons the intention.
What do you think? How would you feel if the best man at your wedding copped out?
