My bro is getting married in November and I’m a BM. FH is giving me a really hard time about it. He doesn’t want to go because he feels left out. He’s going to be alone during the ceremony and prob for a little while during the CH. He’s met my extended family a couple of times and of course knows my immediate family very well (my mom, grandma and sis (who’s also a BM). Has anyone been in this situation and if so, can you offer up some advice. I keep telling him it’s only going to be for an hr or so, but he’s being a real baby about it. Any advice is appreciated.

Re: FH and wedding trouble-need advice
My BF got married in Syracuse and FH fave me the HARDEST time the 3 weeks before the wedding and we even got into such a bad fight that I almost wound up going by myself, he was pissing me off so bad. He was a b* tch about everything, the drive, making me rent a car instead of taking his or mine, where we were going to stay, EVERYTHING.
But he came and he ****** it up and it really wasn't that bad... and he didn't know ANYONE because it wasn't my family, but I introduced him to a couple of my friends and they kinda babysat him in the meantime.
He'll get over it. Let him be a baby for now, he'll wind up having a good time.
Wow, can't even use the word su cked in a tolerable context? That's pretty strict LIW

I mean, I'm sure he won't be the only one seemingly there alone. He can mingle with the other loners and have some drinks.

He should make an effort to go. I think it will look really bad if he doesn't. It doesn't sound like its the most comfortable thing for him, but definitely the right thing for him to do.

Re: FH and wedding trouble-need advice
Ladies, thank you for ALL your advice and support!!! When I got home, I was all ready to knuckle him up, but before I got a chance to, he said “ok, I’m sorry I was being so dramatic, I’m going to the wedding”. He told me he spoke to one of his friends (BM) who put him in his place.
Thanks again!!!!

Re: FH and wedding trouble-need advice
honestly... tell him to get over it. It's your brother's wedding. Not a distant family member where he can skip the church or anything. We are all put in positions in life where we feel a little uncomfortable, you just have to deal with it.
ETA: OOps sorry just saw your update.. glad he came to his senses!
