"May the Best Man Win" - and he can by following some simple rules. The Best Man is the guy in the wedding party that I tend to either really like, or dislike. They can being doing so well taking care of the Groom, keeping him on time for photos, etc and then - BAM! mess up the speech and his score depleats.
As the Best Man you want to make sure that everyone likes you - that they simply think you are the 'best' man. It is your job to ensure that the Groom is calm, dressed, on time and sober on his wedding day. You carry the rings, and you give a speech. Pretty simple, and yet we've seen the worst of 'em.
Here are some tips for you as the Best Man to help your friend the Groom have a stellar day:
- Be on time, be sober and be ready to get dressed for photos.
- Be a little nicer than usual to the Groom, he'll be very nervous so you're support & humor will be welcomed.
- Be even nicer to the Bride. Even if you're not her biggest fan, treat her with the utmost respect on her wedding day.
- Don't flirt excessively with a Bridesmaid or guest - unless of course they are your wife. Remember that you're not attending the wedding - you're kind of on the job.
- Give a speech that is short (less than 5 mins), kind and thoughtful. No one likes inside jokes, roasting of the Groom, or 'before he met her' stories. Save that for the Stag.
- Hold the rings and don't lose 'em.
- Assist with any clean up at the end of the night, including taking gifts in your car.
