Groomsmen Dilemma

Idk I don't think guys overthink it like us ladies do lol.. he may be totally cool with it and not even bat an eye. We are 80 something days out and FH has still not worked up the courage to ask any of his guys (oy).. I told him he really doesn't have to, but he insists he wants to

I don't see anything wrong with it! Especially with him being a new friend, so it's not an old friend that could see it as being a second choice. Plus, like PP said, I don't think guys overthink these things as much as us women do! Lol! I say go for it

Hahah they definitely don't, my FH is always telling me I overthink everything lol.

Awesome! I'm sure FH would've asked one way or another but now I feel better lol

I don't think guys over think this stuff as much, I think you're fine! Maybe if he knew him before the engagement it'd be a bit taboo, but especially since they met after the engagement, I think you're good!

I think it would be fine I would just make sure 100% that the original groomsmen definitely cant come. Just to avoid any awkward conversation if in a week the original groomsmen is like "oh I can make it now" and then your stuck.

Agreed! Make sure the original groomsmen for sure can't come first.

He 100% can't come. His work is going through layoffs soon and if he were to take time off he could get laid off as he's technically used his time off for now already. He's sad but thankfully he and the groom aren't SUPER close.

He can't come 100% which sucks but also if something were to change the week of, he'd be fine knowing he was replaced. He's not crazy so that's good!

Even though he met this guy after we got engaged/finalized our bridal party? He really likes his new friend and has even said BEFORE the other guy couldn't make it that he wished he'd met the guy sooner so he could've been in the BP.

I see no problem with it, as long as he can get the proper attire in time! I agree with the others, guys don't usually think about that kind of stuff like we do lol!
