Groomsman Duties

Let's be honest, outlining the duties of the groomsmen is like telling you how to open a beer.
Every man who knows a man will know what to do, however, there are a few things which shouldn't be over looked and a few things that should not be done, so I shall go about listing the duties anyway...

Do: 

• Serve as an usher and help out in the church.  The brides family should be on the left and the groom's family on the right.
•   Escort the women. If a gaggle of ladies arrive together, basically, you want to usher them in the reverse order of who you want to have sex with. Old ladies first, young women last—hags before beauty.
• Walk the bridesmaids down the aisle when the bridal couple leaves the church.  The Best Man walks the Maid of Honour and so on 

• Attend the bachelor party and help the Best Man organise it
• Attend every function the couple has before the wedding if it is wedding related (and even if  it is not)
• Pay for your suit
• Do what the bride tells you 
• Attend the rehearsal dinner
• Make sure you get to the church early
• Make sure the groom gets to teh church on time
• Distract the groom on the day so he doesn't get nervous (think boys' breakfast/driving range/a drive)
• Attend the reception and help the guests and bridesmaids
• Make sure you are there for photos
• Help decorate
• Help carry luggage
• Act as a henchman/gardener/waiter/busboy/assistant
• SMILE

Don't

• Do not argue with the bride
• Don't let the groom get drunk on his wedding day
• Do not let the groom do stupid things at his bachelors (no means no)
• Do not loose any part of your suit if it is rented
• DO NOT GET DRUNK AND OUT OF HAND AT THE WEDDING
• Do not do imromptu speeches
• Do not embarrass groom/bride on the wedding day
