Hi!
I’m Bonnie with My Own Bridal Show.com welcome to my video blog.
What are the best man’s responsibilities you might ask?
The best man has some very important duties, one of which is planning the bachelor party.
He is also supposed to be the biggest source of support for the groom during the wedding
planning process.
He can also help with the coordination of the tux fittings for all of the groomsmen,
as well as prepare a toast for the rehearsal dinner.
His most important responsibility is to ensure the grooms timely arrival to the ceremony
location on the wedding day.
He also will usually hold the ring for the groom during the ceremony, as well as sign
the marriage license as a witness.
During the reception, he is the one who starts off the toasts to the bride and groom.
He can also help with the decoration of the car, organizing the groomsmen for photos as
well as helping with the return of the formalwear after the wedding and reception.
All of this depends on the person who is chosen to fulfill this role.
Some best men are lucky to make the ceremony on time themselves, let alone get the groom
there too.
At a minimum, the best man is required to at least attend the bachelor party, stand
up with the groom at the ceremony, and make the first toast at the reception.
Holding such a prominent place in the wedding party, the best man should be someone who
is at least the groom’s very best friend.
Many grooms choose a family member for their best man and I have even seen some choose
their father, depending on their relationship.
Hopefully the best man that your groom chooses will go above and beyond to help make your
wedding day as wonderful as it can be!
