What am I waffling about? On Saturday, Agent Grey asked me to be his Best Man at his wedding to 'Muffin. To say I was stunned and unable to parry would have been an understatement! I'm greatly honoured; now all I have to do is not cock things up.
I've had a look at a few websites already and I had no idea that the BM dealt with so much! I thought it was just rings, speeches and stag night but not so...
For example:
- Plan and pay for bachelor party w/groomsmen.
- Rent and pay for a tux, and go for fittings.
- Attend rehearsal and rehearsal dinner.
- Help bring and boxes to ceremony and reception location.
- Help the groom dress and make sure he gets to the church on time.
- Keeps the bride’s wedding ring until the ring exchange. You may be asked to hold both rings or none at all if the ring bearer has them.
- Sign the marriage license.
- The couple will give you a sealed envelope with the officiant’s or church’s fee in it. You will give this the priest/officiant before the ceremony.
- Sit to the groom’s left at the reception.
- Dances with the maid of honour.
- Make a first toast to the bride and groom. This is usually done before dinner but in some cases right after.
- Arranges transportation or personally drives the bride and groom to the hotel or the airport.
- Collects and returns all formalwear rentals on time.
- Help maid of honour bring gifts to the bride and groom’s house.
