I'm standing on the tee. It's
a beautiful, bright and sunny
day in June. The air is filled
with the fragrance of pine,
and in the distance, I can
hear the happy chirping of a
new robin family.
1 look over at Derek,
my best friend of
well over 10 years.
He's pacing back
and forth on the
tee; 'Should 1
use the driver
or the three
wood.'
I line up
the ball
with my
club, a two
iron. As 1
bring the
club back, 1
hear
footsteps
behind me. 1
swing. Craaack.
A clean hit.
Craaack. A second
hit. 7brror runs down
my spine. I look back.
His face is all bloody and
he's lying on the ground.
I've killed the groom.
At that point, I awake from
a cold sweat. I look around
the room, and I'm at home,
not on a golf course.
It's still February, and my
best friend's wedding isn't
until June.
Being asked to be the best
man at a friend's wedding is
something that shouldn't be
taken lightly or for granted.
The bridegroom will rely on
the best man for guidance,
support, confidence and help
during the months and
weeks leading up to the
wedding, as well as during
the actual wedding day.
When a bridegroom chooses
his best man, he is displaying
a level of confidence and
trust in the individual, and
counting on this person to
say and the right things to
make the ceremony
memorable.
When I was asked to be
best man at my friend's
wedding, I was grateful for
the opportunity. lb me, it is
the ultimate bond between
two friends.
The importance of living up
to the commitment bestowed
upon the best man by his
friend doesn't have to be a
stressful endeavor.
Simply, the best man is
responsible for a few major
events in the prelude to
wedding day, and during the
actual ceremony and post -
festivities.
These responsibilities
include:
• Organize a stag, or stag
and doe. These parties are
held to raise money to help
the couple
minute, you could find
yourself out of luck.
If you are considering
selling alcohol at the stag
and doe, for moat halls, you
will need to purchase a liquor
license.
Once you have a hall, you'll
need to have tickets printed.
You may also want to
consider renting gaming
tables (ie. crown and
anchor). This is an
excellent way to
raise additional
money.
Guests at stag
and does are
usually
served food.
You can
either hire a
caterer, or
guy the food
yourself.
Buns, cold
meats, salads
and some
desserts are
always popular.
• In the weeks
leading up to the
wedding, be sure to
check the details of the
groom's plans; run
necessary errands; do lai;t
minute shopping; help with
the new home and
honeymoon plans.
• Attend the rehearsals, and
rehearsal party.
• You can also offer to meet
planes or visiting guests, or
drive members of the party
to
be married pay for some of
the expense.
More and more people now
a days are opting for stag
and doe parties. If this is the
option, you'll want to
consider renting a hall. If
you wait until the last
