ShareThisQ: My fiance wants to ask one of his close friends to be a groomsman, but I can't stand the guy! Do I get a say?
A: Here's the harsh truth: not really.
Listing all the things you hate about one of your guy's closest friends will only create tension and cause arguments between you two. C'mon, one groomsman isn't going to make or break your wedding.
In other words, it's totally not worth it. If you're afraid one-half of this bromance won't behave (read: your guy's pal loves to get drunk and tell lewd jokes), express your concerns to your fiance. Just know that the final decision is his.
Worst-case scenario: Tell your DJ or bandleader to keep the mike away from Mr. Inappropriate.
