EBW's important question of the day

[Weevil]

Who would you choose to be the best man at your rapidly approaching wedding?

a) A man who was your best friend from the age of 7 all the way up until you were 18. You've shared scraped knees and spelling bees, Cross checks and first bottles of Becks. Played on the point with him on a great HS hockey team. Kind of drifted apart from him after we went to different Uni's but have since moved back to the T-dot and it be like old times(except for the beard)

b) The man who was your roommate for two years in college and then lived across the hall from you at the ol' Frat house. Sort of crazy, lots of fun. Didn't grow up with him but he did turn me on to the incredible world of binge drinking and vomiting.

c) A cousin who is close in age to me and was always one of my best buds. Actually lived with him for a while. He turned me onto the great world of Weed and Cypress Hill. Closest thing I have to a brother.

d) Or listen to your Fiancee who says "No way am I having those three drunken idiots barfing on my Bridesmaids cleavage during our wedding"


What do you think?

Given the information you have. I would more than likely choose the cousin. Blood is thicker than water. I have my friends and I cherish them, but my family will be there no matter what.

The most important thing is What does your heart tell you? If you are unsure, make a little list of Pro's and Con's of each. Dependable? Responsible? Trustworthiness? Considerate of others? Honesty? Integrity? Last but not least, someone who will be "honored" that you ask.

 

[Weevil]

Questions to ask yourself :

Which one of the 3 is most responsible? Which one can you count on? Which one truly knows my tastes the best? Who can give a decent toast? Who will I remember 20 years from now and still be as close to?

I would say go with the cousin who's like your brother, but that's just because you'll probably be close for the rest of your life.

Answers:

Who is the most responsible? I don't know. Who's the shortest Munchkin?

Who can I count on? To not get drunk? To respect my wishes not to have strippers at my BP? None of them.

Who can give a decent toast. Well option A has a problem with public speaking(He vomited before giving his Student Body Prez speech) , Option B's speech would probably be a profanity laced discussion of who in the room he'd like to fuck and option C is barely coherent when sober, which he never is

Okay, pros and cons

Option A

pro: Know him really well, My Mom likes him, can probably trust him the best not to get drunk

con: Hates weddings, can't dance, doesn't like going to church

Option B

Pros: Will definitely make my wedding a more fun place, most literate of the three, probably give the best speech

Cons: Will get drunk, Most definitely will insist on strippers, Will absolutely, positively hit on every one of my sisters.

Option C

Pros: Nice guy, Good fashion sense, Always looks out for me and would do whats right for me

Cons: I wouldn't count on him to show up on time for his own wedding, biggest obstacle I have in keeping my wedding drug free, Erin hates him with a fiery passion.

As she put it:

Decision, decisions, decisions. Tough one to make.

I guess IF I were you and I were to choose. I would think long and hard about choice A. Sounds as if the only real problem is he doesn't like going to weddings. I think given this is YOUR wedding, he would overcome it. Dunno. Talk to him and see. Have an open and honest discussion with him.

As for the BP, do it like two weeks before the wedding. Trust me. That way you are not nastily hungover for the wedding. Plus your fiance' would appreciate that you were not out all night the evening before.

Were I an intelligent, mature individual that would probably be the right call.

I still think we should go to Vegas and have a drive through wedding. Oh well

 

[Chuckus]

I don't know you EBW so don't get offended when I ask this. Have you thought about having your father as your Best Man?

Like I said, I don't know you but at my next wedding (am divorced happily) my dad will be my Best Man.

EBW, I am telling you that if you have the BP like a week or two before the wedding, man does it pay dividends. Been there, done that and I have a T Shirt.

No, you obviously don't know me very well.

Let's just say that isn't a possibility I'd consider very hard.

 

[Chuckus]

Well that is why I prefaced that question to you EBW (I didn't mean to hit a nerve). Do you have a favorite Uncle or something? Maybe he could do the "official" duties whilst your friends do the BP and typical bs?

Lavy, you threw me for a loop with your switch from second person perspective to first person. For your poor use of a writing device, this post only get a C+.

It's all good. But no, I don't really. With the exception of a Grandfather who passed away when I wa 14 there aren't many older male figures in the ol' EBW's life.

Besides I do think it should be one of the three.

 

[Chuckus]

Well it sounds as if you have a decision to make and some conversations to have. Whomever you choose, it sounds as if you need to tell them what you expect and if they are willing, ready and able to do it. Good luck. Let us know what your choice was and why.
