I’ve yet to introduce the Man behind the scenes of all that is going on at the moment. All of this wedding prep work that I’ve done; he’s been more or less doing the same. My Best Man, the guy is like a brother to me and I’ve known him for the past 10 years, he accepted the role of being by my side as I take the leap into marriage, without question. I’m blessed to have my best friend stand by me at my wedding.
Whether you’re thinking of asking your brother, a cousin, your dad, your best friend, or your dry cleaner, make sure this guy is keen to get involved in the big day and everything leading up to it.
I’ve been lucky from the get-go; my best man has been on fire. He’s taken care of everything behind the scenes, from contacting all the boys, booking accommodations, and basically ensuring my Bachelor Party will go off without a hitch. He’s even nailed down some transportation for the day of the wedding. His work thus far has been impeccable and greatly appreciated.
Your best man is sort of like your Sports Agent. You’re basically the Michael Jordan of the marriage world and your best man wants to make sure he negotiates the best contract for you with all the perks, and the signing bonuses. So choose wisely here guys, it looks like the team you are looking to join is looking for a very long term contract having a great agent/best man, will only make things better.

Hey grooms and brides - it’s a really great idea to make sure that the best man is prepped and pumped for all of his duties. It’s not a herculean task, but it is more important than you might think, and probably more important than that of a bridesmaid or the maid of honor. The reason is that the best man is the third most visible person in the wedding party. How? Chances are, he’ll be in a ton of photos. Chances are, he’ll plan the bachelor party. Chances are, he’ll help get the other groomsmen organized (or he’ll just have plenty of questions to ask, because he won’t really understand his best man duties. When it rains, he’ll be the guy who brought umbrellas to cover the bride (if all goes well!) Oh, and finally, it’s his duty to make a best man speech or best man toast. So, yeah. Lot’s riding there. You can get some peace of mind with our best man duties and speech guide. Click on the link and check it out!

I don’t know if Bob Dylan was thinking about wedding planning when he wrote “times they are a-changin’” but if so he was an even more insightful man than I’d already thought.
It is safe to assume that if you are a Groom reading this post you’re ten times more involved in the wedding planning process then say your father, or grandfather would have been. Sure I am sure the big guys helped out when needed and when necessary but really our roles have been changing drastically over the past several years. We’ve got input to offer and surprisingly enough, most of the time our lovely brides-to-be appreciate it.
I’ve taken on a lot with this wedding, nothing in comparison to what my fiancé has on her plate, but still I’d like to think that my decisions and actions are playing a major role on this life altering event. From handling all the food and beverage concerns, taking care of the DJ, and really heading up all vendor communications, I am keeping pretty busy. I think what I am noticing is a hell of a lot of teamwork, which I am a big fan of.
I can almost guarantee that without two people sharing the duties that a wedding dictates… the wedding wouldn’t happen.
Buckle in boys, if you haven’t already, study your flower types, understand there are more colours then blue, black, yellow, and red, and don’t forget to be patient, because, “times they are a-changin’”
