"Will You Be My Best Man?" A Question Too Many. by jnrbayano(m): 11:12am On Mar 16, 2015 |
"Will you be my best man?" is a question that I have to deal with every now and then. In this month alone, I have two of such question to answer and in the month of April, there's another to decide on and not to mention the previous times I have performed such function. It pains me Striktlymi, my friend is yet to ask me this question. How many times does one need to perform "a best man" duty for various grooms before subtly rejecting anymore appeal for such an onerous task? To the married men here what were your reasons for selecting a particular friend as your best man? I really need to know so that I will start behaving in opposite and ward off future "Will you be my best man?" question. What's your opinion? |

jnrbayano: Jnr! Jnr!! Jnr!!! To be asked to act as best man at a wedding is a great honour. Not only that, but it says much about your considered suitability (or availability ) and the esteem with which you are held in by the person asking. A man should always - where it is not unduly inconvenient - be ready to act in such stead for those he considers friends or family. Taking it with the honour it accords and carrying out the task with the due consideration it deserves. But please, never feel compelled to do so, it should be a joy and a lacklustre performance is a dis-service to all involved. I have been a BM twice, once for a cousin, and once for a friend I've known since we were 10 (started secondary school together). The friend also acted as my best man. You've done a afew, so you shouldn;t have any problems there. Jnr, you're an elder now - it comes with the territory . Striktlymi 'zup with your nuptials? if Jnr flakes on you, I'm available - will deliver the sermon and MC join if you like ! I love a wedding TVMIC |

TV01: *Laughing out loud* I'm well aware it's an honour to be asked, just trying to be funny kinda but it can be choking at times because I put all my energy in it whenever I accept to do it. |

jnrbayano: Hehehe... To think that I was waiting for you to get married before I start searching for a girlfriend. Anyways, I will start thinking of getting married when I find a suitable lady. PS: I don't like being anyone's best man joor. The last time I was asked to be one, my excuse was that I was taller than the groom and wouldn't want to steal the show from him. |
