Just got asked to be a groomsman for the second time. Get to head to San Diego for it. Very excited.

My buddy from college just asked me to be in his in August. I said I would only do it if I didn't have to give a speech. Was that mean? Oh well, go cats!!!

I don't think I'll ever be a best man, which is kind of a relief. I don't have any brothers and only one other guy in my close group of friends is brotherless, so I guess we'll see what happens with that.

Is there some sort of rule that it's supposed to be a brother??  :confused:

It seems very common, but time will tell.

I don't think it has to be a brother, but many people feel like they are very close to their brother so they pick them...I was the best woman in my sister's wedding (or whatever it is called) and visa versa.

Is this limited to groomsman only? If I can count usher and that time I was a bartender and the 5 year old was kicking me in the chest and telling his buddies, "Hey look! There's a dead guy over here!" out back of the Knights of Columbus Hall, then it has to be like 15-20, maybe more.

Just groomsman, then 6, I think. I am everyone's friend, but not best friend, and that's okay!

1 best man, 2 groomsman, and an usher.  Going to be a "bridesmaid" or a groomsmen for another wedding this summer as I am pretty close with both the bride and groom.  They are deciding where to put me depending on evening out the numbers and how weird they want it to get.

I had a buddy that was a bridesmaid for one of his best friends.

Ring bearer, usher, groomsman, best man. I've pretty much done it all. I want to perform the ceremony once, though. Like, actually marry someone.

Groomsman once.

I'm not very popular, and surprisingly few of my closest friends have gotten married.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.
