In western countries, the earliest groomsman was responsible for escaping enemies’ assassination or curse of the devil. So in ancient Roman, bodyguards or killers held the post of groomsmen to protect the new couples’ safety. They worn the same clothes as the grooms, watching for chances to kill the enemies and make contributions. Later, it is gradually evolved into today’s appearance. But the essence of the groomsmen is still same from helping grooms not drink wine and joining in all kinds of abnormal games- to protect the grooms.
Two things before marriage
Bachelor party is different form the bridal shower. Saying good-bye to single
naturally can be a bit presumptuous. Drinking wine, getting pretty girls, even inviting dancers are all okay. Just follow his indignations and the taste is determined by the groom.
Yet the groomsman should control the level of craziness. Something they are afraid of doing before can be done with the friends’ encouragement. Once finished, the bride should go with his husband hand in hand in the later days. Therefore this kind of party is essential. The only premise is to guarantee the bride get to wedding safely and on time the second day.
Ensure the bride get to the hall on time
Wedding hall cannot empty out a whole day for them even if they have enough money in the budget, especially some well-known parish churches are needed to make an appointment ahead of time. As a result, there is just one hour left for them to salute. Considering the wedding is usually on the weekend, so the groomsman not only can not drink much wine on the bachelor party, he also has to estimate the traffic conditions of the second day and ensure the bride can get to the hall on time.
Take care of the wedding ring
With no doubt, the bride is squiffed on the bachelor party. Hence in order to avoid ceremony go unsuccessfully, the groomsman is merited to take the responsibility for taking care of the important goods such as wedding rings.
Hold the post of witness
In China, the witness must be gentlemen such as the new couples’ elders, social elite, or the immediate supervisor. At this time, as a groomsman, he can have a rest and bless for the new couple silently in the wedding march because his duties are nearly finished. However, different from China, all things mentioned above should be done by the groomsman in western wedding and he should be the new couple’s witness of wedding.
Speech and thank for the bride in the wedding
Speech draft can be prepared in advance and so most of them are scripted. After solemnly annunciation and sweet blessing, it is time for the groomsman to adjust atmosphere. He can show his sense of humor at this time and slightly poke fun at the groom.
Toast to the bride and groom
Cheers for the bride and groom, which is a classic sentence. Then you can drink one cup because there is only one step to end the wedding. “Come on, let’s cheer for the bride and groom”. The only thing you should pay attention is that you can not say wrong name.
Decorate floats
The new couple is about to leave and have a honeymoon. The last thing we should do is to decorate floats with ribbon, cans and balloons. This needs the groomsman prepare in advance.
After finishing these seven things above, the groomsman can call it a day or drink with the bridesmaid. Perhaps, he can meet his own bride.
