[MUSIC] What’s good occasion? Please, man, women. I just left. A wedding is about, actually, it’s the next day. It’s like 12:15 the next day. So the wedding was yesterday so to speak. But I really really enjoyed myself. I’m also really, really tired and I was the best man in this wedding. Honored to be the best man. Beautiful bride and groom and what? I’m here to talk about today. Is the service is the honor that it is to be the best man and to also talk about the You know what it takes to be that best man, so I don’t know if there’s more so of what it takes to be a best man, but it is the thing that goes on with that. Go on with being the best man. This is the responsibility, an honorable responsibility because the person is about to take that leap into the light with the one that they love. Right, and when you’re taking that leap with the one that you, you want to be focused on her on him? Whatever the case is, but you want to be in the place where you completely focus on that person and do everything that you need to do as well in. It’s best, but it looks like. Is you being there for that person? Regardless of what is that no matter how early you have to get there. No matter how late you have to stay so. I’m gonna gonna walk you through kind of what happened with me and my episode of being the best man today nice. I’ll have my cell phone today, but to to know how you should be there for person, and I think these are principles. That’s how you should be there for friends. True friends that you really really love and care about so. I think about this, right. Hi, so first of all. You want to make sure that they’re comfortable, comfortable and being in this place that they need so they wanted to stay at a place outside of their house. They wanted to stay in a hotel and I wanted to ensure that their hotel area was. You know, enjoyable and an enjoyable experience, and they a good, comfortable place, so I actually cancel my reservations and put a totally different hotel based on what their need was, though it’s about putting your need a side. And if the focus on that person of what they need because what you’re doing is making the job to you before town. Look beyond what that person tells you to do. Think ahead of what that person needs, so if you could forecast or what this person’s to say, hey! I know that you are the person that likes to call, right. Find out what the golfing areas are and say. Okay, tomorrow morning. We want coffee and know what those things are that person lights so that you can accommodate them in a way that can bring them to a level of not only appreciation, but relaxation, right, the group today. Our manicures and pedicures, right, The last thing that you need is to be in a professional photo. Shoot with your hands looking all just beat up torn up. Crummy, so go get your hands done! Make them look good, right. Be your best at whatever it is that you need to be also. Make sure that you have a pen and paper on you or use your phone Because as I went through the day today, there was so many things that my man need it, right. Charles said, don’t let me don’t. Let me forget the rings. I got to get this cake also. And I got to bring in my wife. You know my wife-to-be shoes? I also have to make sure that I have money for the limo and that’s another thing, right. Make sure you have. I’m not a cash carry in person, but today I carry cash because like if he needed it, he was getting it right. Make sure that they need that. They have what they need. The other thing is once you are at you. Keep eyes on yo and her, right, whatever they need because you’re serving, right, you eyes on them to make sure that you’re giving them every single thing that they need and if he needed something then? I’m gonna be there at his beckoning, call -. Hey, can you find out what happened to these? These kids, or can you know? Can you help? People get dressed in their tuxedos to make sure that they look, you know. Straighten out their bow ties or these people don’t know how to tie a bow tie, so show them other areas of, you know, thinking floral on how they’re, you know, if you have any questions about how anything should be orchestrated throughout the day, then maybe ask that person what it is that they desire how they want things to be so forgetting something and bottom line is be there. Be there, show up, do all that you can for that person, and if you if you don’t know what you do if you don’t know what that person need ask, and it goes beyond asking them, sometimes you can. X, if you don’t know that person, well enough. The person that I served on today. I’ve known them for ten Eleven. Maybe close to a dozen years, and I know him pretty well, and if you don’t agree with it for her right, but I’m talking about man groans, but you get the point either way, treat it as an honor, treat it as a privilege because that’s exactly what it is. It’s serving, it’s giving his life and it’s beautiful it’s. What you give you’re gonna get. It’s been a long day if I have to. I will wake up and do it all over again tomorrow. Because that’s the kind of love that you have that. You should have for the people that you serve in this capacity. So those are my words of wisdom on being a best man. And so also you know what? I’m a make a part to this to this. I don’t know, I’m a little tired. I’m out, I will show you a little bit of this place that I come in before I go. It’s not been super super special, but you know, we couldn’t do like the holiday and for this so either way, have a good evening Good night, but the rest of us leave us. [applause] [Music] you?
