My son is in his brother's wedding. He tells me he is the extra groomesmen and he may have to escort the junior bridesmaid, his cousin. Is this all right? He thought he would be with a bridesmaid.

I don't see any issue with your son escorting a junior bridesmaid, even if it is his cousin. I'm getting the impression he would think it weird. I don't think it would be weird. They aren't getting married, nor are they perceived as a couple.
This decision is up to the bride and groom. The groomsmen do not get to select their partner. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".

I totally agree, if he is uncomfortable with this, check with the bride and ask if he can be a second escort for the last bridesmaid. In other words, she would have two escorts. It is of course, the bride's call. Nancy Tucker President of Weddings Beautiful US http://www.weddingsbeautiful.com and http://www.coordinatorscorner.com

I usually agree with Nancy one hundred percent. But, in this case, I feel that going to the bride with this issue could be perceived as meddling. The bride and groom decide who in their party does what. The parents shouldn't have any say in this. Your son could speak with his brother, but that should be the extent of it.
There really is nothing wrong with this picture except that the one brother views himself as "extra". It is unfortunate he feels that way. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
