My brothers wedding is 7 Saturdays from now. I am standing up in the wedding, but I am not the best man. All this wedding stuff that is going on has me think and I realize that if I were to get married anytime soon, I would not have a best man.

 

I have plenty of friends, but none of them I would be able to pick out and call my best man. Is that weird? Ladies and gents, have any of you whom are married or have hypothetically thought about it have or had the same problem as me?

My Fair Katie

I had attendants at my wedding, but I have to say there is something very appealing and romantic about just the bride and groom standing at the altar. I don't know, it just seems very intimate to me. I myself don't like big weddings though, so I may be a bit biased in that regard.

 

I will say this, in the 4 short years I've been married, I've made friends who I am far closer to than my wedding party as has my husband. The wedding is one moment in time, some friends stay, some friends drift off starting lives of their own, so it's one of those problems I wouldn't spend much time dwelling on.

I am not dwelling too much, but if I do end up marrying the current GF, then it is something to think about because I know that she already has someone picked out to be her maid of honor. I know that she would want a traditional wedding.

Not everyone needs a best friend. If you are surrounded by good friends, you don't need to have a soul bond with only one other person. The other possibility is that your g/f is your best friend. :)

 

As for your best man, this is why some people pick family, so they don't need to choose between good friends.

My GF is my bestfriend.:)

 

I have made it this far without a male best friend, so I think that I will be ok. If I did choose family, I wouldn't know who to pick either.

I'll do it for $1000, plus expenses. I'll pretend to be your best friend for $1500.

 

Hey, I am worth more than that.........

 

Make it $1700 and you have a deal.

I do have many close friends but I wouldn't call any of them my best friend.

 

That is kind of silly for me to be thinking about this because it seems as though I would only need a best friend for wedding purposes.

Alphamale as best man?:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

 

I can see it now two hours before the wedding:

 

A: Dude, you're making the biggest mistake of your life. Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?

 

R: Look man, I love her. She's my best friend.

 

A: You're a fool. She'll take you for everything you've got once she's bored with you.

 

R: Who says she'll ever get bored of me. We're in love.

 

A: Marriage is designed to benefit women and women only. It's your funeral...I mean wedding. Don't say I didn't warn you lil' bro!

Don't do it Rid. I would be concerned about two fully grown men who are too close for comfort, who run around in tights with fake abs carved into chest armour...

Hanging out with KMT is on the same list as Alpha being my best man.:laugh:

 

Plus KMT said that he is way too good for anyone, which I guess explains why he can't get a date.:laugh:

Riddler its interesting you made this post, my brother's getting married a month from now but neither will I be best man.

 

Im not certain what constitutes a 'best friend' but I only have a few people I can call my close friends. And out of that few theres one I can probably rely on being the best man..and the irony here is I've known my other friends much longer than this one friend. Maturity and respect is utmost important as well as having gone through thick and thin with each other, and at the end of the day laugh about the dumb ***** we've done.

Okay, confession time. I opted out of selecting one of my friends for my maid-of-honour and took the sister route. It was difficult to pick without hurting someone's feelings because the ones I would have selected from, we all knew each other since highschool, some closer at different times than others.

I think you will marry your best friend Riddler. You never acquired a best friend because you were saving space for her. And you aren't one to put your friends above your lady. Definitely not the lady you will spend your life with anyway.

 

This is just how I see you though.
