My friend (since grade 6) just asked me to be his Best Man/woman! B|
I have no idea what that means exactly... Im hoping there are some married men on here that could help me sort that out.

So, if you have any funny stories or advice... I sure could use it!

ahhh! finally not a bridesmaid... oh wait! still not the bride :o :D:D

Granted it's not traditional but consider it an honor that you have such a great friendship with him that he is wants you to be a part of a special time in his life. I say go for it and make him proud. :)

I was a "Best Man" once. It is a lot of fun, if you can handle some serious teasing.

Hire strippers, bring lots of dollar bills, and drink good beer all night, no girlie light beer shit. Fart during the ceremony and you will recieve your Man Card in the mail in just a few short weeks. B|


Edit: We revised the title a bit: Best woMan

My first reaction to your post was to think that you are one twisted dude. Then I looked at myself, realized that I was laughing because I thought your post was funny, and saw that I am the twisted one. :D

Exactly, except way cooler. You'll be one of the only chica's at the party thus ensuring loads of attention from the guys and the strippers. Fun for all! B|

I've been Best man twice...most of it by phone.
My brother and a very good friend of mine got married ( to two different woman at two different times:ph34r:)

the problem was, I was not living in the same states as them so seting up all the details SUCKED.

each experience was a LITTLE bit different. yes, theres a party that YOU have to throw; bachelor party. it does not have to be something that will cause a divorce, in fact i highly recommend you do something that won't push the limits of your frineds conscience. I mean if he's a whore and cheats on his fiance then nothing matters anyway so the sky is the limit, but if he is actually commited to his fiance (you would think marriage means commitment, but not always) you can still do some pretty outrageous stuff and not get him arrested , divorced or diseased.:D

I don't know, he may be diseased already:o:P.


AT THE WEDDING you will be responsible for what ever it is they put you i n charge of. your job is to make the day go smoothly.
Traditionally you WILL:
--stand next to/ behind the groom as vows are exchanged.

--probably be expected to pay for the official/preist/reverend etc. ( some times they groom will give you an envelope with the cash already in it. other times you will be stuck with the bill!)

--you may have to act as crowd control /damage assement team and or fixer of things that seem to be an unsurmountable task..like dealing with the crazy ,panicked Guests. It helps to be a PEOPLE person in these cases. you may not be able to fix the problem but all you have to do is postpone it until the vows are exchanged.


AT THE RECEPTION.
you WILL:
--Party
-- help celebrate your friends happiest moment
--act as a cheer leader IF neccessary (SPEECH)
--stayout of the way.

after the wedding you Will:
--forget what you just saw and act like your friend wasn't weeping like a child.
--resist the urge to ask if he was crying b/c he felt as if his life just ended or because it just began?:ph34r::ph34r:

The very most important thing you can do is ignore 1/2 of this post and do what you see fit. I was best man twice and I played totally different roles at each wedding..



when My brother got married I hardly knew his fiance. in fact the first itme I ever physically met her was when I flew home for the wedding afew days early. I spoke to her often but didnt know alot about what made her tick.


so you can guess I was FUCKING nervous whenI had to give a speech. Especially since I NEVER write speech's I go of the top of my head. after the wedding I got a video of the speech and typed it out and made a cool little wall thing for them with a picture of them and a copy of the speech. I attached the speech in case you give a flying fuck. its not something I could use an any other time but for something totally off the cuff I think it was pretty damned good.

______________________________________________
Love is something that is hard to obtain but once you have it, it's even harder to MAINTAIN. As time goes on, you may find you are taking each other for granted, even though you don’t mean to. You may find that life has gotten into the swing of things, you are married and you are used to it. The one thing everyone speaks about at weddings is the future. I won’t do that today. I will speak about the past.

There will be times when things aren’t so fun, you'll argue about money, time, children and all the other stuff. So many people try to fix that argument in the future. I say you should fix it in the past because that is all we have.

The mind has a beautiful way of brushing away a lot of the hurt and pain that we've seen in our lives, that’s why you hear the terms FOND memory. But if you don’t take the time to build those memories you will have nothing to fall back on when the bad times come. You have to create a solid foundation of FOND memories; b/c when you are finished with your argument and in separate rooms cooling down you shouldn’t have to ask "why do I put up with this?" Those fond memories should come rushing back and remind you of the love that you have and how lucky you are to have it.

So, I challenge you to not only prepare for the future but to also set up your past. When you wake up you should try to make each other fall in love with you again. EVERYDAY!!
You found each other through years of brushing away the ones that weren’t right for you, now that you found each other doesn’t mean you can stop chasing ... THAT is the fun part.

I challenge you to chase each other, to create your own fantasy world… in the bedroom and in the outside world. The little things that you do for each other are probably more important then the one big thing you may do. So if you wake up some day and you forget to think about the person lying next to you, I challenge you to remind yourself.

You have found love and you are the one who can keep it
I challenge you to live a long happy life together.

One friend of mine told me about his night out before the wedding. His buddies somehow came up with one of those "ball and chain" things and locked it around his ankle. He had to carry it around all night.

Now, it's obvious in any strip joint when there's a wedding group there, just because of their behavior but the ball and chain thing apparently really nailed it. He got loads of special attention.

Yep.

Ball and chain.
Strip club.
Dollar bills.

Hell yeah! Or, uh, so I hear.

I have done the Best Man thing 3 times now.

Your most important job is to Plan the Bachelor Party.

Remember that this is the Night out that your friend will have as a Single man. Make it memorable. All Three Bachelor Parties I Organized were planned for the weekend before the wedding and were atleast 3 day Long Parties.

The first one I did was for an Old High school buddy. I rounded up 13 of his friends for the party. The Groom had no idea what we had planned only that we would pick him up from work on Friday and that he needed clothes for 2 Days. We went straight to the Airport and all flew to New Orleans for the Weekend. The funniest part of this weekend was that we didn’t know when we planned this adventure that this particular weekend was "Decadence" Weekend in New Orleans. One of the biggest Gay Pride gatherings in the country. I think we were the only straight guys in new Orleans that weekend. My Friend still gives me shit for taking him to a Gay Pride Festival for his bachelor Party. It worked out well for us though as the strip clubs were pretty empty that weekend.:P

The next one I planned was for my old college roommate. He wasnt told anything at all. We just showed up at his house at 5:00am, Drug Him out of bed, Shoved some clothes in a bag, Grabbed his passport and took off. (His wife to be had helped us plan this). We took him to Costa Rica for the Party. Nothing like sitting in Hot Springs at the base of a Live Volcano sipping Imperials while surrounded by Gorgeous Tica`s.

The last one was for my Brother. For him we just rented a Limo for the entire weekend (His Bitch wife to be wouldn’t let us take him anywhere). We loaded up all the guns we could find in the Limo, Went Shooting, Went Bar Hopping, Strip Clubs, Played Golf and generally did all the things that he would no longer be able to do after the wedding (Did I mention his wife is a Bitch??).

Also for all three Grooms..
On the morning of the Wedding I offered each one a One way Plane ticket anywhere and $1000 cash if they wanted run. Every one of them considered it but turned it down.;) I think that every one of them has also told me several times since, "I should have taken the Ticket and Cash!!":S:D:D
