Well if your FI is comfortable with hanging out with him and having him around I don't understand why it would be a big deal. Plus it's about people who care about you and who you care about, so if you want him in the wedding he should be! My FI's bestman and I knew each other before FI and I knew each other and FI thought his best man and I were dating before we got together which we weren't. Now it's just a funny story.
I love it. I don't think there is anything wrong with that. I was considering this for a close male friend as well.
They are def comfortable around each other. I just didnt want to sound pushy for asking my FI to have MY best guy friend to stand on his side. Right now we have 5 girls and 4 guys... so it would even it out (but thats not important to me anymore)
My best friend was origianally going to be my Man of Honor, but he didn't want to do it, so then he was Head Usher. Finally, he ended up being a Groomsman and Head Usher. He loved it and I was happy he could be a part of so much. McHusband loves my best friend almost as much as I do, so they're super tight friends too. I don't know if that helps, but it's what we did.
One of my best friends is a guy. To top it off, he was my first boyfriend in high school and we dated two years. He was going to be a groomsmen, but my fiance has so many friends that I didn't feel right kicking out one of his friends to include my friend. So he's an usher.
I don't see why he has to stand on your FI's side and I don't think you should ask your FI to ask him to stand on his side. I think he should stand on YOUR side. It doesn't have to be all boys and girls separated. I have my best friend on my side and he's a guy.
@MissCastle - I totally see where you are coming from. Usher is a good idea. Will you have your friend just Usher people and then sit? Will he be announced when you enter the reception hall?
@shaydenise - My brother is standing on his side, and his sister may end up standing on my side. So I just thought it would be appropriate to have him on my FI side. Nothing is set though, we have time to decide. Thanks for the advise!
My best friend from high school is a guy and he's being my Man of Honor. I was one of his groomsmen a few years ago.
I also don't believe in splitting up boys on one side and girls on the other. They should stand with you as meaning is more important than symmetry.
You sound like me and when my MOH almost had to drop out, I almost asked him... I say do it if you want too!
I LOVE the idea of having sides mixed. I would love for my brother to stand on my side and my best guy pal too... however, my FI does not want that. I would have a lot more on my side as he didnt pick a lot of people to be in the wedding. (his choice) Not to mention my brother is married and I asked his wife to be a BM, so we want them to walk together! Thanks for the idea and advise though! :)

My best friend is a guy and I have yet to ask my fiancee about adding him in the bridal party. In most cases, the groom asks their friends/family and the bride ask hers. My FI knows how good of friends we are but hasn't mentioned anything to me about asking him... and the catch... my best friend and I had a very small past. I am talking like over 5 years ago. (we never dated though)
I am having mixed feelings about wanting my guy pal in the wedding but dont want to feel pushy. Of all my friends he has been there for me the most. I recently had an engagement party and all my female friends stayed for about 4 hours. He stayed the whole party and then some, hung out with my FI and I and his friends. He is just a good person all around but our past may be the factor he has not been asked to be in the wedding...
Any thoughts on this situation??
