Should I go to my brothers wedding?

blogger123 · 2012-04-23 21:12:58

Hi, first off I'm new here so don't know if this thread is in the right place. My only brother is getting married soon and we have always gotten on quite well. A couple of months ago he told me that I wouldn't be his best man and then he never asked me to even be a groomsman, but instead chose his fiances brother and 2…

Does he live, and was the stag, very far away from you (e.g. a different country)? Could he have thought it was impractical to invite you or would it have been as easy as inviting the others that went?

You're invited but you just weren't invited to the stag?

Maybe he wanted a friends not relatives only stag thing. a family orientated second stag could be coming down the line and you just haven't heard about it.

Meet up him before the Wedding. Ask him straight out what is going on. You are entitled to some straight answers.

If you don't like what you hear, or he isn't prepared to give you answers, you might be better off not going to the Wedding.

AH Response: go to wedding, teabag the bride.

Proper response

Not being a best man: Not the end of the world, nice to be asked or given an explination.

Not being asked to be a groomsman: Getting pretty lame here

Not invited to the stag : Extremely lame.

The only excuse I can think of is that maybe he feels you might not have gotten along with his friends on the stag. Either way, you need to talk to him IMO

Do you guys ever go out together???????
If not then he's just been same as usual,

I have sis, We never head out together though,
Get on really well,

I mean who hangs out with there brother anyway,

I know maybe you think stag is different, But maybe he wanted to be with his friends,

Stags should be for friends not family, ???? I dunno

If I were you, OP, I'd tell him that I want to go to the wedding, let him make the (hopefully costly) arrangements for an extra guest at the reception, and then on his big day not bother to show up at all.
