Being invited to become the groom's best man is definitely a privilege, even if you are the guy's best bud or his brother.
The best man is considered to be the closest to the groom--the guy whom he trusts the most.
However, there is usually a prerequisite that the best man must be currently single.
This singlehood actually does have its own perks aside from simply being a matter of tradition.
Why? Because best mans are known to have some key responsibilities on their own.
Planning the Stag Party This is one of the most interesting and sometimes controversial part of being the best man.
If you are, then you will be tasked to come up with this crafty and sometimes naughty plan of making sure the groom spends the last day or night of his singlehood in the most unforgettable way possible.
Of course you are made free to do this with the help of the other groomsmen but for the most part, it will be your responsibility.
If this is your first time to plan a stag party, just make sure it will be something that all the guys will be game to do.
You also do not have to restrict inviting people to just the groomsmen and the groom himself but you can also choose to invite the other guy friends or relatives of the groom.
Just make sure the groom would not learn about it and that it would not have any drastic effects on the wedding.
It would also be best to make the stag party weeks away from the wedding and not just a few days so that if anything unprecedented happens, you can always find a way to go around it.
During the Wedding Day The fun aspect of being a best man goes on especially during the wedding.
It can be said that apart from the groom himself, another important guy during the wedding day is a best man.
His participation during the wedding does not just get limited to being beside the groom as the bride walks down the aisle.
He, together with the maid of honor, is also responsible for keeping the wedding rings until the wedding march happens.
You might want to talk it over with the maid of honor just to make sure that you both don't lose these very important wedding symbols.
During the reception, a best man still plays an important role.
He is going to be expected by the audience and most especially the newlyweds themselves to make a speech for the couple and also for the groom himself.
You might want to prepare some sort of outline before the wedding reception and you should also watch your alcohol intake before you make the speech.
This way, you can be sure that you would not become too much entertaining for anybody else's own good.
Being a best man is definitely one great experience to have.
It is a special privilege that you would remember for the rest of your life.
