What to do if your best man bails
The only way to avoid your best man bailing on the “big day” is to make that special person on the man’s side of the altar a family member-preferably dear old dad. Even if the old man is sick with spotted-yellow-leopard-fever, he will show up just to see his boy get married. Not because of any real loyalty to this child but so he can watch another male species make the same mistake most male species have been making since the invention of marriage license. Let’s face it men, your percentage at being faithful to the “bride” is pretty low, ergo the mistake of getting married.
You don’t have an old man? Use the next best thing, Grandpa. Your grandfather has been around this earth longer than dear old dad, so he may feel even more loyalty in attending to the groom, unless he has so many grandchildren to begin with he can’t remember the groom’s name…or the day of the wedding.
So that leaves only one other person for the groom to choose as best man who will not bail on the “big day”. Uncle Bob. Everyone has an Uncle Bob. He is the family member who wears a “comb-over” hairstyle, plaid pants that fit under his arm pits and a sports coat with shiny elbows. Uncle Bob is a perpetual tourist who usually has a camera hanging around his neck and Aunt Mary waiting in the RV with the motor running. Why would Uncle Bob not bail? No one ever invites him to a wedding [or any other family gathering] so he will be so happy for the invitation he is sure to show up.
Like I said, choose a family member as the best man because family will never let you down.
