Daveoo:
High chances that intended couples can meet at a wedding reception, my sister is an example. She met this guy in a wedding and today she is married to him with 4 lovely children....so my dear meeting chances are very higher in wedding, church service, office, market, and everywhere.

Maybe I'll meet my own there. Who knows....

Kalaba:
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.

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

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

As for the 16th point, well, just be open minded. Anything can happen. grin

. Don't dull o cheesy

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

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. cool

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! wink

No be me talk am o. cool

But, anything can happen. You gerrit? wink

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. cool

HOWEVER, AS THE BEST MAN, PLEASE,
1. Do not come to the wedding and start forming frosh and start doing “igberaga”. sad

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. cool

We know you can speak phonetically heavy english. grin

We also know you can dance. cool

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. sad

Have some dignity.

That’s it for this week! cool

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...

cc FuckHomophobes go through this sir.

cc lalasticlala cc mynd44 please, help us move this to the promise land to help future bestmen. cool

6. SOMETIMES, THE BEST MAN IS IN CHARGE OF THE GROOMS PHONE.
This one is negligible. But, most times, the phone of the groom stays with the best man, because, the groom has to focus.

7. THEY WATCH OUT FOR THE EXE’S OF THE GROOM WHO MIGHT SHOW UP TO CAUSE WAHALA. grin

Please, don’t laugh. I am very serious here. grin

Do you know that, it is the duty of the best man to spot, neutralize and dismiss any ex of the groom who might attend the wedding with the sole aim of causing wahala? A best man gave me this point when I asked him why he was looking around with suspicious eyes all through the ceremony. No chances must be taken. cool

Start doing push ups o! cheesy

8. THEY KEEP EMERGENCY KIT ON THEM. STUFFS LIKE EXTRA FACE TOWEL, BODY SPRAY, ETC
You will never know when you need to wipe a sweat off the groom or spray the atmosphere. Just be at alert.

9.THEY SERVE AS THE LAST POINT OF CONTACT BEFORE YOU GET TO THE GROOM.
People will always look for the groom because of one thing or the other. The best man deals with such issues and only involves the groom when it is absolutely necessary.

10. THEY KEEP AN EYE ON THE GROOM AT THE BACHELOR PARTY AND CARRY HIM HOME IF HE GETS DRUNK. grin

This is self explanatory. Never you leave the groom behind. undecided

11. HOLD THE RING AND GIVE THE RING TO THE GROOM AT THE ALTER.
I have personally witnessed a situation where the little ring bearer did not want to give the ring to the pastor! I don’t know why. But, most times, the rings stay with the best man for safe keeping. cool

So, back to the functions of the best man. (THESE POINTS DO NOT FOLLOW ANY PARTICULAR ORDER)

　　The best man begins to function immediately he is notified of his role. So, the first point is,
　　
1. THE BEST MAN HELPS AND ASSISTS IN PREPARING FOR THE WEDDING.
He assists the groom in choosing colours/themes and designs of attires, shoes, etc

2.THE BEST MAN IS THE LEADER OF THE GROOMS MEN.
Just as the bride is going to have a bridal train, the groom also moves with his groomsmen. cool

The leader of the groomsmen is the best man. He coordinates all the activities and serves as the spokesperson of the groom.

3. THE BEST MAN PUTS THE MICROPHONE CLOSE TO THE MOUTH OF THE GROOM DURING THE EXCHANE OF VOWS. (NIGERIAN THING)
This point sounds so Nigerian. grin

In the church, during the exchange of vows, the groom is required to hold the pamphlet containing the vows and repeat the vows after the officiating minister. The best man holds the microphone close to the mouth of the groom so as to illuminate the voice of the groom.

4. PROSTRATE (DOBALE) WITH THE GROOM DURING TRADITIONAL CEREMONY.
The best man is usually part of the entourage when the groom wants to go and ask for the hand of the bride in marriage the traditional way. He is required to also prostrate and do little activities that are sometimes financial. You gerrit? wink

Furthermore, let's assume the ‘alaga iduro’ fines the groom for a misconduct, the best must help a comrade in trouble. These parts are always interesting. Make sure you have enough cash on you o! cheesy

5. THE BEST MAN SERVES AS THE CONSELLOR AND CONFIDANT OF THE GROOM.
It is part of the duties of the best man to reassure the groom occasionally and ginger him. At some points during the wedding ceremony, it is normal for the groom to be fed up/ confused or even nervous. It is part of the duties of the best man to reassure him that everything is going to be fine. The best man also doubles as the counselor and the confidant of the groom.

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. kiss

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

　　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. grin

You will do just fine. cool

Have you recently been chosen by a friend or a family to best them at their wedding and you have no idea of what to do? Maybe you have even searched online and all you got was the best man duties that sound foreign and alien to you? grin

You are not alone. cool

Autos › Re: I Need Someone To Teach Me To Drive On Roads by Timagex(m): 8:46pm On Apr 14, 2022

404Dev:
Hi house.

I understand the basics of driving (steering, turning, acceleration, braking and so on) but not confident of driving on the main roads.

So, I need someone who can teach me that, how to drive confidently on the roads by myself.

My estimate time is 2 hrs daily for 1 week (we can start tomorrow if I see someone today). Preferably in the mornings.

I have a personal car that we would use.

My location is baruwa, ipaja-ayobo.

My contact is 09054832238.

You can call/WhatsApp if you're available with what you would charge.

Thanks

Bro, I didnt even know those basics you know before I entered express and main road. All you need is confidence. Start with less busy roads and have it at the back of your mind that you are entitled to the road just like others.

If you are looking for someone to teach you how to drive on express, then, you will need someone to teach you interstate driving. grin

Hit the road bro! You don't need nobody. cool
