The Duties of the Best
Man
By
Samuel
Abdullah It
is a great privilege and honour to be asked to be the Best Man
at a wedding. In order to prepare for that special day, here is a
list of duties that the Best Man will be expected to perform at an
American wedding:
- The first
and foremost duty that the Best Man will be asked to do is to plan
a Bachelor Party for the groom as well as the other groomsmen.
- The Best Man
will be expected to attend the rehearsal, which is usually held
the day before the wedding. Immediately following the rehearsal,
there will be a rehearsal dinner and you will be expected to attend
that as well.
- On the day
of the wedding, the Best Man will be expected to escort and drive
the groom to each destination unless a limo is hired. The bride
will usually tell the Best Man where he needs to drive the groom.
- The Best Man
is required to arrive early on the wedding day so he can assist
the groom in any way he can. The Best Man also needs to show up
early in order to be in the pre-wedding photographs. It is also
the Best Man’s duty to drive the groom to the destination where
the wedding will take place.
- It is the
Best Man’s duty to be friendly and helpful throughout the wedding.
-
At the beginning
of the wedding ceremony, the Best Man may either walk in with the
groom or with the Maid of Honour.
- The Best Man
may be asked to keep the bride’s ring safe until the officiant asks
for the ring during the wedding ceremony.
- At the end
of the wedding ceremony, the Best Man will leave with the Maid of
Honour.
- Since it is
the Best Man’s duty to assist the groom, it is his task to distribute
the groom’s payment envelopes to the officiant, planner, musician,
etc.
- After the
wedding ceremony, the Best Man will be asked to toast the bride
and groom at the reception. He should also have a speech prepared
that contains many sincere wishes for the bride and groom.
- If there is
dancing at the reception, the Best Man should dance with the Maid
of Honor as well as the Bridesmaids.
- The Best Man
is expected to participate in any activities that were planned by
the bride and groom.
In
a nutshell, these are the duties of the Best Man. It is your job to
make the day as easy as possible for the groom. That’s what it’s all
about!.
