Follow the Bride #6 : Best Man & Stag Do!

Jim's best man Jason popped by early last week.  With the stag do last weekend we thought, what better than a 2 part series, the role of the best man and then Jim's report on the stag do itself.  So here we go:

Part 1: The Best Man!  

• Hi Jason, so how do you know Jim and how did it come about for you to be best man?  I've know Jim since the age of 7 when we met at school, he was always standing on the back of my shoes when walking at school! Jim's good fun but likes to take the mick out of me, he's very level headed and a good reliable friend who would help out with anything.  I've never met a more relaxed groom!  There's actually two Best Men, it's quite common now a days to have two. 

• What's the role of the best man?  I've not been a best man before and now I'm best man for two this year, but that's not been yet either.  I'm sure the main jobs are organising the stag do, giving the best man speech and just being there all day making sure everything runs smoothly.  Besides that weddings in general are more of a girls thing!

• Have you started your speech?  I've not sat down and started it yet, we may have a shared speech but I won't think about it until I put pen to paper, I've loads of stories on Jim but I'll be careful what I say as he'll get me back.  

• What about the first dance, traditionally the best man dances with the head bridesmaid? Yes it's tradition, but I'm 6 ft 2 and she's 4 ft so I'd probably drop her!  

• So, the all important stag do, what have you got planned?  Well Jim said "I don't mind what we do as long as it's got an engine in it."  He's loves engines so it will involve travel and with 16 people involved it will be a challenge to organise it, but this is going to be a "serious" stag do!  People are easy to organise but keeping secrets is hard.  That's all I'm saying as Jim has no idea!  

Join us tomorrow for part 2 where we catch up with Jim for his report of the stag do and his anticipation for the big day! 

Love as always SP x x
