Responsibilities of the bestman

Question:

I would appreciate any help on the responsibilities of the bestman.  
This is my first time being the bestman.  Besides the bachelor party what else should I be concerned with? Thanks  Ian

Ian, basically the best man does the following: make sure that the groom stays as sane as possible during all the excitement. Make sure that everything goes smoothly. VERY important. act as a witness for the marriage license signing. help the groom dress before ceremony and after reception. Make sure he looks all right and is wearing everything he needs to wear. carry the fiance’s wedding ring. Have it available during the ceremony. (FYI. Some best men lick the inside of the ring so it goes on the bride’s finger smoothly.) carry the envelope that contains the fee for the clergy or judge. Present the envelope to clergy or judge before or right after the ceremony. Offer the first toast to bride and groom. Rehearsing what you are going to say can overcome any nervous jitters. Most best men have never spoken in front of a group before. Ian, each wedding is different, so not all of the above might apply to this wedding, but here they are. Good Luck.

           If you really must have a bachelor party the night before, it is your responsibility to make sure the groom gets home early and doesn’t drink very much. Trust me, if you produce a groom who is hungover, groggy, and cranky on his wedding day, you may have a bride who never lets you set foot in her house again! Gaelen
