If you were dating someone, would you have a problem linking arms with someone else while walking down the aisle at your friend’s wedding?

In today’s story, a boyfriend and girlfriend have opposite opinions about this question.

Let’s read the story to see if one of them is overreacting or underreacting.

Ok so this is gonna be short because i’m just confused if maybe I’m not seeing his side or not.

But basically me (19 female) just texted my boyfriend that my friend who’s getting married sent me a picture of the groomsmen im walking down the aisle with.

Her boyfriend has a question.

He then asked if we were gonna link arms while walking down the aisle. He said that would be weird and it’s a respect thing not to do that.

I responded it’s my friends wedding and if that’s what she wants then i’m gonna do that! Because it isn’t that serious at all.

Is he being way too controlling or aitah for not seeing his side.
