Hi everyone
We’ve just undergone the stress that is organising our table plan and I’m just after a second opinion on our top table!
As a side note, I’m not from the UK so from my side of the family there’s just my parents and brother coming vs about 45 of my partners family .. we’ve already caused a minor upset by only inviting immediate family + partners and two of my close friends to the ceremony (all of my fiancés cousins, aunts, uncles etc were expecting to be invited but we want a super small registry job then the main focus is the party!)
So we can have 10 people at our top table which we’ve decided is us, 4x parents, my brother and my best friend (I don’t have bridesmaids) and my fiancés brother and his best friend (they’re his best men). This means my fiancés brothers wife won’t be at the top table, instead she’ll be sat a table with my fiancés cousins etc
We’re slightly worried his brother is going to kick off about this (he’s difficult anyway) as they live overseas and his wife hasn’t met the family that many times. Other option is my fiancé doesn’t have his best friend/best man at the top table and his SIL takes his place, but then it’s a bit random as his brother and best man are doing a joint speech, and my fiancé wants his best friend there. His best friends wife is happy to sit with a group of mutual friends so that’s no worry.
On my side, my best friend is single and my SIL isn’t coming as she’s staying at home with the baby so my brother can come (they also live overseas) so I’m not having to worry about splitting up couples.
I guess basically what I’m asking is are we being awful by splitting my fiancés brother and his wife up for the dinner part of our wedding?
