Hello, I have a question that has been bugging me for a few months.
I have recently become engaged, however this will be my second marriage. My question is, in my first wedding, I had my "at the time best-friend" as my best man. It has been 5 years since and though the friendship is still there it hasn't been as strong. My fiancée' and I have superstitions and uncomfortable feelings about having him as best man again.
I was thinking about asking my father to be my best man however my friend keeps hinting at the fact that he is my "for life best man". Any advice on how to break it to him that I don’t feel the same?
Honesty is always the best policy. Explain to him, as you have explained to us here, that you and your fiance want a fresh start and feel uncomfortable about repeating anything that you had done for your first wedding. Remind him that your father is also your "friend for life". Selecting your dad will be less hurtful than selecting another friend.
