Content about Best Man

April 20, 2009

While a wedding places considerable stress on the bride and groom, little thought - if any - is ever given to just how stressed the best man can be. Putting together a wedding speech takes a lot of effort, and there is usually considerable expectation for the best man to perform, more so even than the groom on the big night ?

The order in which you present the speeches is Father of the Bride, Groom then the Best Man. Sometimes, other people like to speak too, keep it to a minimum, you don't need 3 hours of speeches - and if the Bride want to make a speech, let her .... she is the Bride! She should speak either before or after the Groom depending on what her preference is.

Speaking at a wedding is something that many of us have to do at some point... and in short, it can be terrifying! It doesn’t have to be though. Put in a little time and a little preparation, and it can actually be a very rewarding experience.

So it's the night before the Best Man's speech. Oh... and the wedding is tomorrow too! The Best Man's speech is written, practiced, edited, and practiced again. I will post a copy of the speech (post wedding) on the Best Man Speech page here on NewlyWeds-UK.

Groom, Best Man, Fathers, and Ushers' suits

When thinking about the overall look of your wedding day, after the Bride's wedding dress, one of the next important outfits to organise is that of the Groom's party - the Groom's suit, the Father of the Groom's suit, the Father of the Bride's suit, and the Usher's suits.

Wedding etiquette dictates that all men should keep their suit jackets on, until the Groom removes his jacket. It is helpful to any guests who may have their backs to the top table, for the Master of Ceremonies, or the Best Man to announce "Gentlemen, the Groom has removed his jacket".

The date of the Stag Do has been picked. The Groom has, in this case, decided that he wants to be involved in the arrangements, therefore the 'type' of Stag Do has been decided on. We are going Skiing.

Skiing! Now that is a cool Stag Do... sorry Stag Weekend... no, scrap that... Stag long weekend. We are all going skiing. Woohoo! Oh no, crap, hang on, I can't ski. I have never been skiing.
