You are probably one of those few, who first knew of your best friend’s upcoming wedding, or most likely, even one of those who helped your friend out to polish his script during the proposal, if that is the case, then, you must be one of those chosen trusted friends to become a groomsman. Well, you are up with certain duties and responsibilities and you must not take your position in the entourage for granted.
Most often than not, groomsmen are chosen from among the groom’s friends and relatives. They are the ones close to the groom, thus, they are depended on and trusted upon for certain duties and responsibilities that will help the couple less stressed out. Other than to look dashing in a tuxedo on the wedding day, you must first consider important things that will matter for the wedding day and that is to first become an adviser at the same time, a supporter to the groom.
Wedding is such a nerve-racking day for any groom, and the pressure starts off even before the wedding day itself and so it is important that you are supportive, not only to the groom, but even to the bride as well, all throughout the whole wedding process.
One epic to any upcoming wedding is a bachelor party, also known as buck’s party, and this party is usually organized by the best man along with the groomsmen. You must share or split the cost among the others who will attend the party. Usually, a little naughtiness is involved in the party, and as a groomsman, you get to enjoy the bash as well.
Before the big day, so much pressure is loaded on the groom and bride, so any little act of kindness will be for sure appreciated. You may be delegated with some tasks and, hopefully, you will be very willing to do the tasks given to you. Groomsmen can help in picking out the tuxedos and showing up for the fitting. You may also pay for your wedding attire especially when needed. You can also help out the groom in choosing the liquor or beverages to be served during the reception, run errands for the groom especially when it comes to transportation services, and help in other particulars that the groom is opted to do. Make sure that you attend the rehearsal dinner too.
On the wedding ceremony, groomsmen greet and seat guests on their assigned chairs, therefore, make sure that you arrive on time. They stand by the groom and serve as witnesses as well. They also escort and assist the bridesmaids.
