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. 3 Likes 1 Share |

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. 20 Likes |

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. 5 Likes |

- 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. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Hemanwel: Wear suit dey him back .... Lol! Well a best man serves a third eye , ensuring things go on smoothly as planned . If there are issues that are meant for the groom, since he'll be overwhelmed,The best man should be the person taking care of those issues You might be called to sign the marriage certificate as a witness You should be the person to hold onto the rings and fish it out at the appropriate time 1 Like |

Play the wing man of your guy, watch out for him as much as you can, in all capacities. Just make sure things go well before and on the day of the wedding. I also look forward to response to learn more. |

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. |

1. Buy your own suit, shoes and other apparels. 2. Lend him your Buggati veyron if you have one. 3. Book a hotel room next to him where you can shag the chief bridesmaid before and after the wedding. 4. Clean his face with a white handkerchief every 5 minutes even if he is not sweating. 5. Keep small bottle of alomo inside your jacket and ensure he sips from it every 5 minutes. 6. Ensure you got his back when he starts tripping to the effects of the alomo. 7. If you can, spike his after wedding meal with fresh weeds so that he can shag his newly-wedded wife for about 45 minutes without experiencing partial erectile dysfunction out of the excitement of being married especially if he has not shagged his wife before marriage. 8. Ensure you settle the chief bridesmaid well in cash and in kind. 9. Answer his calls and direct his customers and friends to the venue. |
