Comment être le meilleur garçon d'honneur

groom, groomsmen, best man, wedding, inspo, blog

What’s the Best Man’s most important duty? Is it helping the groom pick out his threads? Is it keeping the rings safe until the wedding? Perhaps it’s rounding up the other groomsmen and whipping them into tip-top shape for the big day? Or making sure the groom-to-be has a killer bachelor party?

The truth is, the Best Man should be on top of all of those things, and more. Unfortunately, for some, the importance of the Groom’s number-two has been watered down over the years to the point that the Best Man’s only role seems to be disrupting all the careful planning that went into arranging the wedding.

You’ve likely heard a few horror stories in your time. After shirking his responsibilities before the main event, the best man gets a bit too drunk, dances embarrassingly in front of the other wedding guests, delivers a poorly rehearsed speech during the reception, then throws up all over the robes de demoiselle d'honneur. Parlez d'une déception.

No longer! For the good of the modern wedding, it’s high time that we put the “best” back in Best Man. We’re going to run down the list of all the critical burdens the BEST Best Man should shoulder willingly, along with expert tips he should take to heart for getting the job done right.

As the leader of the groomsmen, it is the Best Man’s responsibility to make sure that they are aware of their responsibilities for the big day and to inspire them to be their very best throughout the entire ceremony. Simultaneously, the Best Man must serve as the Groom’s right hand, aiding him throughout the wedding planning process to ensure that everything goes off without a hitch. There’s a lot more to it than just attending a few rehearsals and signing the marriage license at the end of the ceremony. The Best Man has to bring his “A” game and prepare himself for a series of trials, including…

Whether or not the Groom is footing the bill for the tuxedos, the fact remains that the Best Man should be there every step of the way to make sure that the outfits look right. This goes beyond giving a simple “nay” or “yay” to tuxedo picks. The Best Man should be hands-on in coordinating the Groom and the Groomsmen’s looks. He has to make sure that the crew is all matching and that the Groom is at the fore.

Selon le scénario, le garçon d'honneur doit également s'assurer que les garçons d'honneur sont tous en mesure de s'équiper et de louer (ou d'acheter) leur tenue de mariage formelle avant l'événement. Cela comprend un suivi afin qu'ils connaissent leurs mesures, les informant de l'endroit où aller pour obtenir les smokings et l'envoi de messages harcelants afin que les fainéants du groupe prennent leurs responsabilités avant l'événement.

Devoir de sonnerie

The Best Man is the keeper of the bride’s wedding ring on the day of. He’s got to make sure the goods stay safe and make it to the altar until it’s time for the Groom to make his move. It seems like a simple enough duty, but you might be surprised how easily a disorganized Best Man can screw up this basic task. To keep things from going off course, the Best Man should keep the ring in his jacket pocket, make sure the pocket doesn’t have holes, and leave the ring in its safe place until instructed to whip it out.

Devoir de fête

L'heure de la fête! Il incombe au meilleur homme de planifier une soirée stellaire qui évite les clichés fatigués comme les strip-teaseuses et la débauche ivre. Il existe de nombreuses façons de garder les choses animées sans se ruiner ni sombrer dans la folie :

  • Une visite de brasserie chic
  • Une aventure dans un parc à thème
  • Une soirée au bar à narguilé
  • Louer un bateau
  • Une nuit au Casino
  • Un événement sportif
  • And so on…

Remember, the BEST Best man won’t shoulder this burden alone. If he’s smart, he’ll rally the troops (groomsmen, in this case) to pitch in and assist with the funding and planning the pre-wedding festivities.

Devoir de parole

Perhaps one of the most harrowing responsibilities of the Best Man is kicking off the toasts with a heartfelt speech. It doesn’t have to be a disaster, though. Even if they aren’t a natural at public speaking, the Best Man can nail his address by keeping it short, staying natural, avoiding obscure references, and using the speech as an opportunity to tell a story.

L'histoire, bien sûr, devrait concerner le marié, ses qualités positives, ce qu'il signifie pour le meilleur homme en tant qu'ami, comment il a rencontré la mariée et comment les deux formeront un couple fantastique. Assez simple. Le meilleur homme peut éviter de gâcher ce moment en évitant l'humour grossier et les sujets controversés, en utilisant des transitions douces et en terminant sur une note positive et confiante.

Droits divers

In addition to those major duties, there are several minor responsibilities that the BEST Best Man will not overlook. This could include rounding up gifts, decorating the happy couple’s vehicle, driving the Bride and Groom around post-wedding, and, in general, handling any additional tasks that the Groom might bestow upon them.

Rester en pleine forme

How can the Best Man make sure that he’s up to the challenge? A good attitude and positive demeanor are a must. The Best Man should be there to keep the Groom in good spirits and encourage him in taking this critical step towards a new life.

Le meilleur homme doit être flexible, prêt à aider les mariés avec tout ce dont ils pourraient avoir besoin s'ils le demandent. Le meilleur homme devrait servir d'exemple aux autres garçons d'honneur, en leur montrant comment rester dévoué à leurs responsabilités partagées.

During festivities, he should enjoy himself but refrain from overindulging in alcohol. He should also brush up on his moves, as, more often than not, he’ll be called to the dance floor to cut a rug with the maid of honor and the other bridesmaids.

More than anything, though, the BEST Best Man will serve as a steadfast ally to the Bride and Groom. It’s not the toughest job in the world, but it’s important to do it well. When the Best Man takes pride in his duties, the whole wedding is elevated as a result.
