13 year old is Dad's best man

[Anonymous]

Is that weird? My child just told me he's his Dad's best man at his wedding. I thought it was weird, but maybe I haven't been to enough weddings?

Not weird, makes sense for him to want his son to be part of the wedding. He’s too old to be a ring bearer.

I asked him if he was giving a speech and he had no idea that best men give speeches...!

Aw this is nice!

That's great.

Cute. May also mean that Dad has no friends.

Not weird at all.

Or his son is the best little man in the world and he wouldn’t choose anyone else.

Nobody will ever compete with his son for first position in his life so it makes perfect sense.

You’re all assuming that 13 YO is happy about this wedding and his dad’s remarriage. OP I think that is key.

That's awesome.

My husband's then 13 year old brother was his best man.

The groomsmen have a role to play with things like helping guests to seats, rounding up the right people for group photos. A 13-year-old is a child, not a man.

And Dad can ask other people to take on those roles.

Doing right by his kid is going to be more important than dividing up tasks in the same way everyone else does.
