I'm in a wedding soon where the groom basically sent all the groomsmen a kind of odd message saying here is what you are responsible for doing. I think it was intended as being kind of funny but none of us know each other and this isnt someone I'm exceptionally close with anymore.
It feels like I just got signed up to do work. I could see how this could easily be a job.
- forgingahead 4y agoThis seems normal? Groomsmen are supposed to be part of the groom's helpers/runners. Apparently the original purpose of the best man to act as the groom's backup in the event that one of the bride's loved ones tried to take her back from the groom (or the unwilling bride tried to run away). Official sword-fighter/protector type fellow. I don't think anyone accepts being a groomsman at a wedding without expecting them to be tasked to do something to help out.
- vorpalhex 4y agoAs a groomsman, yes, you are there to work. You are an attendant to the groom (and often also the bride and her bridesmaids to a lesser extent). You will also assist other contractors and members of the wedding party.
