Your suit should be pressed, and your appearance should be neat and tidy. On the day of the wedding you should arrive dressed according to instructions. Our first point or order, is your appearance. While we will try to cover most of the common responsibilities of a wedding usher, remember that you make be asked to do more or less according to the couples wishes. Discuss the role of the usher with the bride and groom, and let their direction be your guide. In some weddings the ushers have a great many responsibilities, in others their role is more ceremonial than functional. Now, your responsibilities as an usher will largely be determined by the bride and groom, and by the style they have set for their wedding. So it is important that you take the position seriously. While ushers may not have the highest profile when it comes to members of the wedding party, it is still definitely an honor to be asked. So, for the moment let’s set aside any advice for the bride and groom, and concentrate on what wedding ushers need to know to make their friend’s wedding all that it can be. But wedding ushers have a pivotal role to play, both before and during the ceremony.

Often they’re are seen as just a simple way for the groom to include his best friends in the wedding party.

But there are other members of the wedding party who have important responsibilities on the big day, and they could probably use a bit of helpful advice as well. After all, this is their big day and they are rightly the center of attention. When it comes to wedding advice, nearly everything you read or hear will be centered around the bride and groom.
