My friend who would have been my best lady is very chilled and relaxed. She wouldn’t be able to go through this stress. I’m chilled like her too. We both don’t like stress.
I’ll give the job to my sister. That girl is a hustler.

Very educative and informative.

Thank you for this o. I’m doing my first one this May. At least I got some tips here.

Roles or duties well started out. Thanks

Just look like this TOPIC is relating to me

It's not easy being a best man. I've done best man duties 3 times. It's stressful but fun. I've decided to hang my boot on best man duties. I need to get married too

Based on all OP wrote, I not only dodged a bullet... but a missile.

Number one duty of a best man is to get the in between legs of the bride maid to be tasted and confirm a day before the wedding.

People still dey wed?

Nonexisting:

Hello everyone! My name is Adekola Taiwo. I am a wedding photographer based in Ibadan, Nigeria. I am also a wedding and events consultant and I share free wedding tips on my instagram and nairaland page every week.

My Instagram page is @Timagex_bridal_clicks. Please, show some love.

This week, we will be focusing on the role of the Nigerian best man.



　　Who is the best man? Being the best man literally means, out of all the male friends of the groom, you are the best of the men, so, it’s an honour. The groom must have seen something special in you for you to best him on one of the most important days of his life. Remember, “with great title, comes great responsibility”
　　
　　It is a fact that, the role of the best man differs due to diversity in traditions, cultures, religions, etc, but, here, I will be focused on being a best man in Nigeria(yoruba setting with a little sprinkle of Christianity religion), because, that is what I am conversant with.
　　
　　(NOTE: THESE POINTS ARE BORNE OUT OF MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCES IN MY SEVEN YEARS AS WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER IN NIGERIA)
　　
As an event and wedding photographer in Nigeria, some of the qualities I have noticed in best men are:
1.They are usually good looking and fashionable. Some are even more good looking than the groom. I have never met a ugly best man.
2. They are extroverts. They like parties and stuffs. I have never met a shy best man.
3. They know the story of the love journey of the couple and always tease the groom at every opportunity.. One was giving the best man’s speech and he was talking about how he ‘gingered’ the groom and gave him sure format to go and toast the bride. It was so funny.
4. They can dance. They usually lead the way when the new couple come into the reception as a couple.

Do not be afraid if you come short of any of these qualities. I'm an introvert myself. You will do just fine.

First of all, I must commend you for the originality of this post, not the usual copy and paste we are used to seeing on every search.
Keep it up, and more success in your business.

I have been honored to be the best man in the wedding ceremony of my best friend, it's still some 3 to 4 months far. Ever since I got this notification, I have always been searching for tips, and having sleepless nights, I can't turn it down, this is my best friend and a brother, and for the fact we haven't seen for close to 4years now. My concern are:
1. I'm an introvert
2. I don't know how to dance.

Lastly, your no. 16 point, I want to believe it's a joke, cos he has been teasing me of it ever since.

Best man duty is just to be there for your Hommie or brother getting married. And if you are still single then keep skemping for the next hottest babe in your friends wife bridal train as all their bloods they got to get married as one of them is about to fashy them for like almost ever.


Woman are wired differently don’t worry. Single guys goes to weddings because they are invited, the booze and chicks.

Na there you go see Bannys with Boobs bigger than 2 heads fitting into their lovely native attires. And Ass and curves of a goddess fitting into their lovely native attires.



You’ll see foodies, premium oloshos depending is the guy is a baller or his wife to be has the touch of Hoelism. But everybody will be there with their various missions.



So you the best man, stand firm for your guy, and if you have money, not really to impress but spray your guy well. Honor that best man duty to they clean him face or listen to his orders on how to keep his visitors comfortable too, but importantly spray your guy money and all the bridal train them go wet before wedding end.

If there’s an after party all the good,bad and ugly at the event will want to rock you.



So enough knacking but no go knack and dump your future wife as that’s the part of the disadvantages


Flex your life joor, e no too serious.


Single life is good but you see being married to a woman that understands you is bliss.


Make una pardon my typos, I no get power to read Wetin I write or else I fit delete all.


If you get it, good and if you don’t get it? it’s okay as well.

lol..... Comrade lower your voice.

Thank you for the encouragement sir. I'm grateful.

I will write articles over been and introvert and not knowing how to dance. I don't know when sha...


As for the 16th point, well, just be open minded. Anything can happen. . Don't dull o

12. THE BEST MAN PROPOSES THE TOAST.
Go and learn how to propose a proper toast o!

13. THEY ALSO SIGN PART OF THE MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE.
The best man serves as one of the legal witnesses by signing a section of the marriage certificate before it is being presented to the couple by the officiating minister. This should not be a problem.


14. THE BEST MAN MIGHT BE CALLED UPON TO GIVE A SPEECH AT THE RECEPTION.
This is known as the best man’s speech. The speech usually contains insights into the love life of couple before the wedding, how they met, his own role in settling disputes when they fought, etc and sometimes, the best man uses it an avenue for vote of thanks. The speech usually ends with a toast.

15. THE BEST MAN SOMETIMES CONDUCTS THE ORDER OF PHOTOGRAPHS.
Please, as the best man, try your best to ease the burden of the photographer as this critical moment. The photographer will be grateful.

16. THE BEST MAN GOES HOME WITH THE CHIEF BRIDES MAID AFTER THE WEDDING! No be me talk am o. But, anything can happen. You gerrit?


There is nothing really hard in being the best man. Just be confident and go with the flow. YOU WILL DO JUST FINE. I PROMISE.


HOWEVER, AS THE BEST MAN, PLEASE,
1. Do not come to the wedding and start forming frosh and start doing “igberaga”. If you know all you will be doing is press phone, please, don’t take the best man role. You were chosen to serve, not to be served.

2. If you will be rude to the vendors like telling the photographer that you are not sure he is a professional, or calling the caterer a compound fool because she didn’t serve your friends on time, don’t do it.

3. If you cannot ginger the groom and bring good vibes, don’t do it. Don’t come and be behaving like you were being forced. Be humble.

4. Don’t try to outshine the groom. We know say you fine. We know you can speak phonetically heavy english. We also know you can dance. Do all, but, don’t outdo the groom. Wisdom is profitable to direct.

5. Do not leave your post and start directing who should get rice or semo. Have some dignity.

That’s it for this week!

Past best men in the house should help us add to the tips in case we missed any.

Next week will be for the chief brides maid! Watch out! Thanks for your time! I remain Timagex. Your favourite wedding photographer. Bye for now...
