Should add, we've only been on a couple of dates and it's his sisters wedding - bit much no?

You wouldn't be involved at all - you would have to be very patient, in fact, since you'll spend a lot of time on your own. He'll be busy all during the church ceremony, then be gone after that for photographs. Then for the dinner, he'll be at the head table, then have duty dances at the beginning of the dance, with the other attendants. So you'll be able to be back with him once he is done these at the dance. If you don't know anyone else to sit with, it can be lonely...

To be honest if you don't know anyone else you could be very much on your own initially. However, most bride's organising her table plan would take this in to consideration and ensure you were seated in a company that would make you welcome and she considered you would perhaps have similar interests and feel comfortable with. The bestman would be with the groom at the service, take part in the photographs. at the top table for the meal and have a speech etc to do. Where I live anyway, apart from having the first dance with the chief bridesmaid the remainder of the night is his own. Think it was different years ago when the newlyweds left the reception early and perhaps the bestman was responsible for organising transport etc. Nowadays the newlyweds normally stay for the reception and often overnight at the venue and after most of the guests have gone even sit in the bar with anyone also staying over. I don't think it is a bit much he has asked you. If you have quite enjoyed the few dates you have had with him I would give it a go. Just imagine he has an important role at a family wedding and it is only natural he wants a date. I think after the formalities he will be able to spend the evening with you. Also it could be an oportunity to meet some really nice people. Just go with the flow and you may be surprised how much you enjoy it.

As the best man's date, you're just a date. More than likely, you won't even be sitting together. My bf was a best man before and I sat at a different table (he was the only one I knew at the wedding and I was sitting with a table of people who were - seriously - 60 years older than me!) but he's best man again in a month and I've been asked to sit at the head table. So it could go either way, but most likely you'll sit at another table for dinner, and if there's dancing you can dance with him... but you more than likely won't be seeing a whole lot of him for the great part of the day!
Buy a cute dress and enjoy meeting new people!

Honestly, if you don't know anyone at the wedding, you're in for a somewhat lonely evening. My boyfriend was the best man at his brother's wedding, and it was a good thing I am really close to his family, because he was busy doing best man stuff the whole weekend. Sure, we got to dance together and spent the daytimes ambling the city (It was in Manhattan, and we're from the midwest, so we got to sight see), but for the actual wedding he was really very busy.
If you aren't very close to his relatives, this might be one date to pass on unless it's very informal-then he might not have so much tradition to participate in.

Why interior the international could you even evaluate conserving a friendship with this guy? he's a cheater and a loser! It grow to be incorrect of you interior the 1st place to permit this guy to be your sugar daddy. you may want topersistent the Nissan Xterra to his abode and leave it with him. enable him clarify that to his spouse! you leave the spouse and little ones on my own. If he keeps to hassle you, take out a restraining order against him. despite you do, do not motivate this guy in any way, shape, or sort. I strongly recommend which you get into scientific care to be certain why you sense the could desire to have a guy, any guy, on your existence. you in basic terms have been given out of a 4 month dating, appeared for a rebound, chanced on it, dumped him, and then drove via his abode with your new boyfriend??? some thing's not precise here and that i think of that's you. you have a heavily risky difficulty with adult men. Get help.

Not very! He'll be at the front during the service and on the top table for the reception, and you won't be. My fiance was best man at his brother's wedding last year and I basically didn't see him all day!

Not at all. You probably won't see a great deal of him until the evening, and even then he'll be keeping an eye on the groom and mingling with the guests. You'll just be expected to look pretty and make polite conversation until you get a drunken grope. Enjoy!

Not at all, your just there as his date. I dont think I'd like to do that tho, you'll be alone at the ceremony and then again at the meal, if you didn't know anyone else there it would be a bit off a rubbish night...unless the bar was free that is!

well you will be sitting in the church on your own and at the meal on your own because he will be at the top table.after that he is all yours.if you know people going then you will be o.k but if you dont know anyone it can be quite awkward.get him to introduce you to a few of the other guests before the wedding

Check out the other eligible singles at the reception. You'll pretty much end up the designated driver at the end of the night.
