Best Man

"Best Man?" Such a privilege, but it's a case-to-case basis. I had mixed emotions when my Kuya Jon told me that I will be his Best Man on his wedding this December. I felt being the odd-man in the family, now that I'm the only "single" sibling. Looking back, I thought my brother will be the last one to get married. I was conceited enough before to think so. He is very subtle with regards courtship. I never really had a training on such ritual. Funny thing though, I'm very good at pushing guys into courting another girl and giving advice. Unfortunately, I'm a total loser at it. I guess that explains why I'm the only bachelor in the family now. It's much of a choice really (as if) and probably a result of wrong choices I made early in life.
Being the Best Man means a lot more than performing certain duties during the ceremony. It comes with a responsibility of living out that title. I was expecting that my brother would choose some of his churchmate or co-worker, but alas, poor me, I had no choice or the other way around. I guess they chose me because I will host the reception, to cut their budget, and be a stand up comedian at the same time. But regardless of their reason, I'm very happy and honored to be able to play an important role in their lives. Next question is, will I find myself asking my brother to be the bestman in my wedding also?
