The Big Question

Your best mate asks you to be his Best Man. Ride it out with a man hug & a bit of back slapping.

Freak Out About Speech

Panic! Pressure! Fluctuate between anxiety & confidence right until it’s all over.

Rehearsal

Run through all the logistical details. Con-cen-trate.

Night Before Nerves

This is unofficial boys’ night. Eat, drink & be merry – sensibly. Nothing worse than a hungover groom on the big day.

On the Morning

You’re a human alarm clock & you’re on breakfast duty. Get everyone moving - bacon sandwiches & strong coffee.

Get Him to the Church

Organise classy cars from the house to the church. Give plenty of time. It’s customary for the bride to be late – not the groom.

Ring Panic

Frantically pat down your jacket every couple of minutes just in case. Yup, still there.

Deliver the Rings

You pass them over at the correct moment. Duty done. Sweet relief.

Leaving the Church

The newlyweds will lead the way out of the church & the Best Man escorts the Maid of Honour behind them.

Church to Reception

Take the lead with getting people to the reception. If people are driving, provide maps, or you may need to book cars or minibuses in advance.

Photographs

Whilst guests drink and chat, help round up people for each photograph upon request.

The Speech

Finally, the time has come. Deep breaths. The first time everyone laughs, you'll relax and enjoy yourself. Nailed it.

Gentleman Smoke Cigars

The groom may need a few minutes of quiet time. Cigars provide a gentlemanly excuse.

Dance With the Family

Let flower girls dance on your shoes. Dance with the oldies. Everyone will adore you.

Drunk Watch

You don’t need to be the fun police, but make sure your good man doesn’t drink his weight in vodka. He’ll regret it.

Wedding Car

Decorate the honeymoon car with the Maid of Honour. Keep it classy – step away from the Silly String.

Stay on Duty

However much of a good time you’re having, make sure the groom is having a better one. That’s the measure of the ultimate Best Man.
