[You’ve been asked to be Best Man at a wedding? Have some fun.]
1. After final fitting, rent an extra coat jacket that is either three or
four sizes smaller or larger than the groom’s. Pick up the groom’s
properly-fitted coat, switch with the extra rented coat, and deliver to the
groom only when it becomes time to actually get dressed.
2. Replace the ring for the bride (you’re holding it) with a plastic ring
from a party store and hand it to the minister.
[True side note – had a Maid of Honor hand me a chrome lug nut for the ring
for the wedding of a NASCAR fan]
3. Have someone speak out at the time the minister asks, “If anyone has good
reason why these two should not be married, speak now or forever hold your
peace.” Perhaps a pregnant lady stand up and say, “Oh, never mind! I’ll
just call my lawyer!”
4. Before the reception, distribute blank keys to several girls and one guy.
As some toasts are made, the best man would then say to the guests, “Now
that Jim is married and is no longer available, it is probably a good idea
to have any of you girls out there with a key to his apartment to please
turn it in now.” Then the pre-selected girls (about thirty of them?) slowly
walk up and hand in their keys. At the end have the guy walk up and wink.
5. Obtain access to their getaway car. Fill with balloons. A few extra
helium balloons in the trunk with their luggage is a nice touch.
6. If you can get access to their luggage after they have packed, add
Styrofoam peanuts in whatever nooks and crannies are left.
7. One of the oldest ideas is to jack up the car, put blocks under the axle,
and then lower the car onto the blocks. When the newlyweds try to make their
getaway, watch them rev…and rev…and rev.
8. When the groom asks the best man for the ring, he turns and nervously
says he doesn’t have it, who then turns to the next groomsman and asks the
same question, and so on until the last person turns and grabs a giant box
of Cracker Jacks sitting on the front pew that contains the wedding ring.
