how to be the best best man you can be (an easy to follow checklist)

my brother, phil, graciously made me the best man for his wedding this past weekend. thanks phil! that was awesome! being best man is an honor. it should be taken seriously. you don't want to fuck this up! follow my checklist for an excellent and rewarding best man experience:

1- look sharp (this is easy for the dudes. you'll need 3 things: rented tux, fresh haircut, fresh shave... go ahead, i DARE you not to look sharp).

2- get a sexy date (i lucked out on this step since i coincidentally have a sexy girlfriend).

3- party your ass off! at the wedding, before the wedding, after the wedding.

4- dance your ass off!

5- indulge! there's an open bar and a buffet for a reason.

6- don't buy under aged kids drinks (you got the rest of your life to corrupt minors. but for tonight, you are the best man so don't be that guy).

7- be clutch. if a wedding is a football game, you're the field goal kicker. they may not ask you for much, but what they do ask you for is important and cannot be fucked up!

8- don't take pictures, be the pictures. (everyone else has cameras. there's even a couple dudes running around paid good money to take pictures).

9- don't be a buzz kill!!!

10- bring it for the toast!! not only cuz every one's watching and listening, and not only cuz it's a good chance to ham it up a little, but mostly cuz it's a great chance to show the bride and groom your appreciation and love for both of them. and that is what being best man is really all about.
