Responsibilities.....
Serve as the groom's personal aide and adviser before and during the wedding. This can
include helping him pack for the honeymoon (the valet part).
Help the groom choose and rent (or buy) wedding formalwear, and coordinate the other
groomsmen's rentals. You guys are supposed to match, after all! You may be expected
to arrange accommodations for out-of-town groomsmen.
Organize the bachelor party. Don't be shy about enlisting other groomsmen to help you
out -- most guys don't mind this duty! Put financial worries out of your mind -- the
cost should be split among everyone who attends the bash.
Attend the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner with the bride and groom and all the other
attendants. This is your chance to figure out how you're supposed to walk down that
aisle.
Stand beside the groom at the altar and keep the bride's ring until vows are exchanged.
Find a safe place for the ring (and triple check that your pockets don't have holes) --
you don't want to fumble around when it's time to whip it out.
Corral the other guys and make sure they're performing their groomsman duties.
Sign the marriage license as a witness after the ceremony, along with the maid of honor.
Give the officiant a sealed envelope with his or her fee (the groom's responsibility) just
after the ceremony.
You may be announced with the maid of honor when the reception begins.
Dance with both the honor attendant and the bride during the wedding party dances.
Give the first toast to the bride and groom at the reception. This is your biggest -- and
probably most frightening duty.
Collect any gift envelopes guests bring to the reception. You may be asked to deposit
them in the couple's bank account or at least to keep them until the couple returns from
their honeymoon.
Decorate the getaway mobile. Grab the other groomsmen and the bridesmaids for this
one.
Drive the couple to the wedding-night hotel or airport after the reception. If you
perform this service, you'll need to stay sober throughout the reception. If you have a
feeling this may not be possible, hire a car to drive the couple into the sunset. |

A friend of mine is wedding his long-time hearthrob this coming saturday,20th december,and yours sincerely has been chosen to be the Best Man.So,I thought I would use this reliable forum to get myself prepared.
Please nairalanders,what are the things expected of me as the Best Man?Is it compulsory that I give financial support alongside the physical and moral support that would be given?
Thanks for your anticipated responses. If you're the best man, then why is she marrying the groom  3 Likes |

You re his eyes and ears. He'll definately have an organising committee chairman, but u're the one who will run d little errands for him, wipe the sweat off his face. If the wedding is done in a church, u'll open the bible verses for him as they re quoted. In short, the only work he's suppose to do on that day is to walk himself around, put the wedding ring on his wife's finger and probably dance with his wife. All other things fall on you! |

Guys,do not just view and leave nah!Please say something! Well from the little experience I have the bestman is the custodian of the rings.Its your duty to ensure it enters the hall and protect it with your life. To clean the sweats of the groom and encourage and reassure him. To ensure nothing evil happens to the groom even if it means taking a bullet for him. To receive gifts on behalf of the couple. |

Swker:
If u have any financial support unwanted to offer then do so, its not compulsory and again you have to help attend to most of the groom calls like attention to close friends and receiving of envelops. Just make sure he doesn't stress himself so much. More so make ur relationship with the bride's maid to be formal. Formal ko? Op if you serve the bridegroom well then your reward is in the chief bridesmaid but if you fukup in service then you better drown yourself in booze. |

Errrmm.... You need to be 100% detailed about the wedding program and have the master plan of everything. Know who handles what. In addendum, you are to be besides him and give assistance as at when needed; answer his calls at this period (for security reason e.g threat), calm them down when tension arises etc
Your major duty is to be at alert: be ready to grab your friend should he try to bail out of the wedding at the last minute. Lolss.. You're joking,right?? |

akinsadeez:
- do all the running around and preparations with the groom.
- During engagement you will be one of those to prostrate with the groom to the family of the bride.
- During the wedding, many people always look for the groom with all manner of issues. You serve as the last point of contact before meeting the groom. Thus you can handle most of the issues such that the groom can concentrate on the wedding itself and only has to deal with the absolutely necessary ones.
- You take pictures with the couple throughout the wedding
- You might be called to give a speech about the couple during the wedding reception.
-The wedding train of which u r a part should dance with the couple during the reception.
- You will also spend money. For example, if its a Yoruba wedding, the Alaga of the engagement might tell you they have detained the groom, and you should pay for his release among other sundry fees. (its always fun though)
- At the end of the wedding, you should go home with the chief bridesmaid. That giving of speech part...na there wahala go dey oh!Not ready for that AT ALL! |
