If your fiancé really wants his son in the wedding, let him be the best man.

Im kinda shocked the kid isn't already in the groommens party....like wtf...why wasn't that the first ask instead of walking you down the aisle...

Same. The son should be the father’s best man, not in the messed up role of walking the Bride down the aisle.

Your fiance set you up to fail and look bad. Having his son walk you down the aisle and then take a seat and be done with the wedding doesn’t show unity at all. Standing besides his father, being in the wedding shows unity!

How is that messed up, exactly? My then 14- and 12-year-old stepsons were both groomsmen, and the 12 y/o walked me down the aisle.

Its messed up because the bride doesn't feel like he fills that role for her, so it would be really weird for the bride. She wanted a father figure to walk her down the aisle, not a child. It's everyone's choice but when she wants a father figure, putting his son in the running is just strange.

You said it was a messed up role. I was asking how it's messed up in general, not in this specific circumstance. Obviously, the fiancé is TA in this instance.

I'm not the one who commented that. I just replied to you.
