My son is getting marriend in April. His father is deceased. John would like to list his dad (using his actual name) as Honarary Best Man. We are not sure that's the right terminology to use. There will not be an actual "best man', they will all be listed as groomsmen. We need help on how to word this. Thanks!

I really couldn't assist with the title as this isn't something I would advise doing. Any best man or honor attendant would have to be in attendance. Obviously, this isn't possible in this case. So, it is best to honor his father in another manner. He could be listed in the program under the other parents as "in memoriam." There could be a candle lighting and a rose placed on his chair.
I agree with rebecca. It may seem strange to your guests to have a deceased person as an "attendant". We have lots of posts on how to memorialize a loved one during the wedding ceremony. You can find these posts by using the search tool or scanning the ceremony section.
