In all the pandemonium of the lead-up to the big day, the groom tends to get somewhat forgotten about. Yet, he has some key roles that are crucial to the nuptials. Here are some invaluable tips to help him along his way. Not the really obvious stuff like ‘Don’t lose the ring’, ‘Get to the church on time’ or ‘Don’t sleep with the maid of honour’, rather the useful advice to get him through the day without major upset.

Best man doesn’t have to be your best friend

Sometimes organisational skills are more important than a shared childhood. If you’re worried your best friend is going to make shambles of his duties then appoint another close friend instead. Or you could always opt for two best men: one to do the leg work, the other so he doesn't get offended at being left out.

How to survive stag night stunts

Different stag parties pose different risks. Depending on how much your friends love you, you may get shaved or stripped. You’ll certainly be forced to consume ridiculous amounts of alcohol. You could end up half-naked, penniless, ...
... in a remote field. What you need is a secret supply of cash. Here’s one way to guarantee that: tell all the other stags that you recently injured your thigh playing football. Strap a bandage around the thigh and underneath it secrete a £50 note. That will cover a new pair of trousers and your taxi ride back to the hotel.

Try to sound interested in the wedding reception

“Darling, should we have napkins in fuchsia pink or burnt orange?” This, and questions about the flowers, the caterers, the cake etc will bamboozle any groom. But to keep your future wife happy, pretend that you’re interested. And agree with whatever she wants.
