Who would you choose as best man?

So I am going to propose marriage next month (having extended discussions with my SO makes me 100% certain she will say yes) and it got me thinking.

Who should I choose as best man?

1) My cousin whom I always considered an absolute bro (even more so than my actual brothers in a way). I was a dick to him in my younger years and we lost touch for a while, but the brotherly bond we had since childhood still remains strong. He is a very systematic, friendly, and works extremely well with people. Only negative I see is he doesn't know any of the groomsmen I have in mind.

2) My current best friend. He's always been there to console me through difficult times, but truth is, as a person who suffers from ADHD, he isn't that empathetic to strangers and am oftentimes forgetful. He is close friends with 3 of my other potential groomsmen.

Just have been in my mind for a couple of weeks and I can't decide. :confused:
 
Friends understand that family sometimes comes first.

And if not then they should.
 
I can't believe you're asking other people about who you want as one of the most important people in YOUR wedding, a (hopefully) once in a lifetime event.

Bro lol
 
Are you restricted to choosing one?

Dutch law states there can be two to four witnesses, who are usually the best men / bridesmaids. Go ahead, get creative, choose both. :evil:
 
The better question is, why do you want to marry the woman who caused you to post those other relationship threads?

Wait...no, don't answer that.
 
Chuck…man…I sincerely wish you the best.

Life tip: Talk to your best friend and your cousin. Let them know that choosing one of them does not in any way diminish the others importance in your life.

Make the choice yourself, then live with it.
 
I recommend that you ask your fiance to sleep with each of them, and then have her decide which one is best. Don't wait for the last minute though, 'cause you don't want her having to do both on the same day, as that would be kindof disgusting.

Great advice right there.

The reason why I am asking is sorta related to this actually. Exactly what I need to do.

See, so happens my best friend will most possibly get married next year as well. There is a good chance I will be invited to be the best man, and what I am worried is, he might take it personally if I don't reciprocate.

I was my cousin's groomsmen, but that was when we haven't talked in years.

Yes, because relationships should be absolutely perfect and every moment should be about you two rolling in a the hay while numerous fireworks explode in a perfectly starry night for eternity. :bleh:

I know it mind sound weird but I've known some of you for years and consider some of my fellow Ragers friends. Given my lack of real relationship experience before this, I simply just wanted some insight. Though admittedly I am being rather naive since only like 2 or 3 of you actually care. :lol:
