My bride's dad and brother-in-law will also be there, so there is absolutely NO funny-business. However, there is a pretty major problem...

My bride-to-be doesn't want my best friend there. In her mind, she thinks that bachelor parties are totally off limits to women, regardless of where we're going, what we're doing, or who is invited. I even told her she could come to the dive-bar afterward and hang out with all of us (and invite her friends if she wants). She's stating that she trusts me, but that people do stupid stuff at bachelor parties and she doesn't want that situation to come up. She also doesn't want people asking questions about whether my best friend and I ever dated, hooked up, etc at the wedding. It seems to be a lot about what people think. I've never cheated, never given her a reason not to trust me... nor would I. I've been hurt bad enough in the past to know never to do that to someone else. It's causing huge rifts and we've been fighting about it for a few days.

Thanks in advance, guys... sorry for the rant.
like I said, I think people are taking this way too seriously. based on the bolded parts of the OP, it seems like the bride is just traditional. no women at the bachelor party. at least not part of the party. lol I don't buy the whole "welcome to 2013" bs. it's a bachelor party. if you want mixed genders, call it a party. there is no gray line when it comes to bachelor parties.

she also want's to prevent rumors at her own wedding. even if the op and his best friends have no intentions with each other, rumors can fly pretty quickly. preventative maintenance...
