Finally, the wedding day has come ! They dreamed about him, they waited for him, they prepared for him. And on this day I absolutely do not want to think about where to share the wedding towels, how the guests sat down, whether everything was enough for everyone, to pull friends to participate in competitions, etc. etc. That is why the people who will be your assistants - the witness and the witness at the wedding - must be selected in advance and chosen correctly.
The main thing - do not force anyone. Doesn't want to ?! And it is not necessary! Choose from other friends. In the end, you do not live with them, but only give preference to those who will help, and organize correctly if that. First of all, the candidate needs to be explained what the witness does at the wedding. Not drinking at all will not work, but a lover of sleeping in a salad is also not needed. This also needs to be clarified. If a person waves his hand and says that he knows everything without it, it’s better to nevertheless accurately and in a roundabout way convey his position. You never know what kind of weddings he was.
The main duty of a witness at a wedding is to help not only the groom, but also the witness. Indeed, so many things are falling on her fragile shoulders that she even forgets to look in the mirror! That is why it is better to introduce future chief assistants in advance.
If you get together and think out a rough plan of action, it will be very good. Witnesses will only have to finalize everything, acquire the requisite (and if you do not trust their taste, then not without your help) and finally make friends, in order to understand what and when to pick up - there are different situations. Of course, ideally, these people should be your best friends who will selflessly take care of your holiday. But still the witness at the wedding is more an assistant than a leader. Well, can women at least give a second command ?!
If the witness was not very active, then everything that the witness does at the wedding, she should at least support. Here, of course, we need not only a cheerful and relaxed moderately guy, but also an economic and prudent one.
And if the bride’s assistant, also cheerful and economic, copes well with her tasks, then the duties of a witness at a wedding are as follows:
- help in sending out invitation cards;
- active participation in matchmaking;
- scripting, preparation and coordination of the bachelor party menu;
- assistance and active participation in the preparation and implementation of the ransom plan before the wedding, when the bride is stolen, the shoe is removed and other events and competitions;
- assistance to the witness in organizing a picnic during a walk around the city and making a route ;
- help in seating guests: relatives sit near the bride and groom, and then friends.
Also, a witness at a wedding should:
- help the bride and witness with the bouquets in the registry office and make sure that they are all in the same car, which after the ceremony will go to a cafe where they will celebrate the wedding. And while young people ride around the city, the hall should be additionally decorated with these flowers. This must be entrusted to one of the guests;
- to have numbers of several taxi services, so that if necessary, immediately arrange a car for guests;
- to monitor the guests sitting nearby (usually these are relatives of young people) and respond to their needs, for example, fill glasses, serve dishes or give a command to gaping waiters;
- Naturally, to monitor the bride and groom that they had everything they needed when they needed to;
- and most importantly - to monitor and accompany the bride so that she is not stolen!
Of course, this option is ideal, and in real life such a person is quite difficult to find. But nevertheless, the witness at the wedding is not an invited guest, but one of the main characters and it would be better if he would at least half meet the above characteristics. And then the day of your marriage will be remembered for a long time by both you and the invitees.
We wish you great holidays and reliable friends!
