Best man duties that go beyond the speech...

Getting invited to a wedding isn’t always how you want to spend your holidays, however look at it this way, you get free food, free booze and a chance to check out the ladies! Now being one of the guests is one thing but what happens if you get that all important call up to be the best man? Your best bud is getting married, love her or hate her, she clearly has a hold of his heart, and he needs you there to be his right hand man. You are the best man - you had often suspected it, now you know, you rock!

Ok, time to get real here guys, with great honour comes great responsibility. Listen up - we shall say this only once, here is what you have to do. Your main job is to get him to the church on time; nerves of steel required here, when he gets cold feet, threatens to run, you must lead him calmly through. This may involve learning to tie a cravat, but don’t panic there are sure to be some middle age men in the wedding party (dad's are a good bet) that can save you from that one! 

One thing we believe you should not escape, and we do feel this sits firmly with you as the best man, is making sure he gets himself some new wedding night undies. It’s a dirty job but somebody has to do it!

Seriously though this is one easy job, grab your computer and have a look at the excellent range of men’s underwear on offer. Send him a link to the one's you recommend, and whilst your at it, shop for yourself too, whether you prefer boxer shorts or trunks, if ever you needed an excuse to replace some of those old decaying undies rotting in the door then here you have it.

It is your job to make sure he faces his new bride with his tush in brand new top of the range designer mens underwear. 

You should both consider the cut of your suits and make sure you don’t leave yoursleves open to that girlie faux pas of the visible pant line, tight fitting trunks make an excellent choice here, and generally the ladies love them so you can’t go far wrong. 
Brownie points from the bride-to-be may mean she will put in a good word for you with that lovely lady you saw at the reception who just happens to be a close friend of hers from work. A thought worth holding onto when underwear shopping, you don’t want to let the side down in your slightly yellowing trunks, pop a few pairs of boxer shorts in your shopping cart.

Most of the wedding party won't be finding out about this mission you have undertaken, you will simply join the ranks of the unsung heroes with hundreds of best men before you. 

Calvin Klein, Bjorn Borg, Sloggi, it really doesn’t matter what you decide on, just choose classic styles that look the part and will give you both that perfect silhouette from behind as you take your place at the alter - now where did you put the rings?!
