Western Wedding Traditions and How Amazing Alterations in Minneapolis Can Play a Role in Your Wedding
In ancient times, men sometimes captured their brides. A man would take along his strongest and most trusted friend to help him fight the woman’s resisting family. This friend was considered the “best man.” In England, the best man accompanied the groom up the aisle to help defend the bride.
Today, the role of the best man and groomsmen is not quite as dangerous. The groomsmen are usually the groom’s friends or brothers. They attend the wedding and help plan wedding-related activities, such as the bachelor party. The best man is typically responsible for taking care of the wedding rings until they are needed at the ceremony, directing the ushers, acting as a legal witness of the marriage, and making a speech.
