Entourage:
Best Man
You've
wrecked his favorite toy truck when you were kids, you've
played endless afternoon basketball games together, you've
helped him set up surprise romantic dinners for his girlfriend.
Now, your best bud has asked you to be his best man at his
wedding. You know this is not a game so you better learn your
duties - fast.
Before
the Wedding:
- Provide
moral support to the groom.
- Accompany
the groom in picking out his barong or tuxedo.
- Organize
the bachelor’s party.
- Emcee
the rehearsal dinner or party, if any.
- Lead
the groomsmen.
On
the Wedding Day:
- Accompany
the groom to breakfast or lunch. Make sure he eats something
(grooms may faint at the ceremony, too!).
- Help
in ushering in the guests.
- Accompany
the groom to the church.
- Keep
track of the wedding rings.
- Bring
a pen and an extra handkerchief.
- Escort
the maid of honor down the aisle (your easiest duty so
far!)
- Assist
in the signing of the marriage contract.
At
the Reception:
- Help
welcome and assist the guests to their seats.
- Toast
the newlyweds. Two words for the speech: short
and sweet.
- Help
the groom pack his things for the honeymoon.
- If
you’re sober enough, you could drive the newlyweds
to the airport
