This practical guide has everything a twenty-first-century best man needs to carry out his role with confidence.

Being asked to be a best man is a great honour . . . but there's the terrifying prospect of giving the speech. There's the stag party to organise, but where do you start? Then there are all those other duties, not to mention the general support you'll need to give the groom. Pretty soon you may be feeling a bit overwhelmed and start to wonder how you can get out of it. Well, I'm afraid that's generally not an option, as in this case, the groom is like Don Corleone in The Godfather: he has made you an offer you can't refuse.

This book will help you rise to the challenge. Written in an informal and lively style it guides you through all your duties from comprehensively exploring the options for the stag party to ensuring you are fully prepared to deliver a great speech on the day (to help with this the book includes ten original, entertaining and inventive sample speeches). Its detailed guidance should ensure that anyone chosen to be the best man will be able to fulfil the role with confidence and in doing so really enjoy the experience.
