The best man usually throws the groom a bachelor's party, and helps the groom coordinate the event, helps with invitations (unless those are handled by someone else), and at the ceremony itself, the best man gives the first speech and then introduces the father of the bride, who gives the second toast. And, of course, the best man stands up front with the bridesmaids and the other wedding participants. The best man also walks the maid of honor down the aisle, and dances with her while the groom dances with the bride.

The best man is supposed to throw the bachelor party, get the groom to the church. He is responsible for the rings, getting them to the church and giving them to the groom during the ceremony. He is also responsible to get the money to the minister for the donation to the church...this money is supplied by the groom but handled by the best man. He also signs the marriage certificate along with the maid/matron of honor. And he gives the toast to the bride and groom and the wedding reception.
He's busy but it's not too hard a job. Choose wisely!

Show up, be a friend, make sure he is marrying someone you know is a good match, hold him accountable to being a good husband after the fact, organize a B party-no strippers, hold the rings, be on time for photos, keep a few extra Kleenex, carry a small sowing kit- that can be a life saver when his cheap tux button falls off, don't get wasted drunk, and most importantly, keep your speech under 45 seconds, should you go over 2 minutes you are definitely holding up dinner and would have bored 99% of the guests.
