    Hi guys I was wondering about what you think of this - my H2B lost his only brother 15 years ago when he was 16 and his brother was 24. He has a group of friends but says he couldn't choose one particular best friend and he's thinking of asking his dad to be his best man. I know this is not the norm, do you guys think this is ok to do so?

    Of course it's ok. :)

    He can have who ever he wants.

    I think it's a lovely idea to have his Dad :) xx

    my H2B was going to ask his dad to. because he is a best friend to him and his step dad is more like a dad.

    im also part of a wedding in sept where the best man is the FOG (lol looks funny) i think its perfectly normal, the only problem we could see was the FOG couldnt be bothered organising the stag do and the stag himself is sooo laid back and unorganised it turned out to be a bit of a disaster but thats just them!!!!
    I have also been to a wedding where the best man was a woman, and they dressed her in the mans suit which i thought was ODD.

    My h2b wanted to ask his Dad instead of his brother, he never sees his brother really and is much closer to his Dad. I said that it was a lovely idea and that he can have whoever he wants as the best man, I shall show him this thread later when he gets home!!!!! He didn't believe me, lol xx

    he can have who ever he likes! i feel quite strongly about that as my jamie moved from scotland to liverpool 7 yeas ago. he had no one. mick is his best mate and has bee nthere the whole way. jamie wanted him, but his dad ordered him to ask his brother, who has since gotten engaged as well and not returned the favour. does my scone in!
