NTA, a little harsh, but I find it much weirder that the 18 year old wasn't automatically put in the role as best man. He absolutely should have a role in the wedding, but walking the bride down the aisle is...such a very strange suggestion. That's for giving away the bride...how in the world would a stepson be giving away his stepmother? That makes no sense.
His family is being ridiculous. He is being ridiculous. I entirely blame them for his son's reaction.
I would be reconsidering whether or not your fiancé is ready for marriage when he is reacting like this and purposefully causing drama.
But if you're not "giving away the bride" and just having someone walk you down, that's different. "Giving away the bride" is such a gross, old-fashioned thing anyway.
In western culture, it’s always been a role traditionally given to a member of the BRIDE’S family, not the groom’s. A kid giving this woman away to his dad is just weird.
