Younger vs. youngest

  • October 12, 2012, 10:51pm

My friend is having this problem with a wedding annoucement. The groom is has one older brother and one older sister. Weren't sure if it should be "engaged to X, younger son of Y and Z" or "engaged to X, youngest son of Y and Z'? I think I prefer "younger son."
