Help, I'm a Best Man!

You're buddy's asked you to be the Best Man at his wedding: congratulations! Did you know that being the Best Man involves more than planning a bachelor party? And did you know that planning a bachelor party involves more than picking out a bar? The role of the groom's entourage is pretty low-key (as opposed to the bride's), but there are still things that are your responsibility. Our new book, The Pocket-Poet's Guide to be the Quintessential Best Man by Robert Melillo, will help you avoid wedding faux-pas and icy glares from the bride's family as you frantically search your pockets for the rings. Each section is very short, concise and to-the-point. This book lays out exactly what you need to do at each point of the wedding process (and believe me, this starts long before the day of the ceremony) and sticks to the basic level of Best Man service. If you want to get fancy, feel free, but this book is about meeting obligations, not impressing the bridesmaids with your decorating ability or organizational skills. Actually, this book is blunt almost to the point of being insulting (should a grown man really need to be told that he has to say "Hello" to everyone in the receiving line?). But if you're starting to get nervous about your buddy's wedding and you want to make sure you keep everybody happy, then this is the perfect book. You might even move from 'tolerable' to 'a good friend' in the bride's opinion.
