The best man is the groom's "right hand man"... the one to take care of things... also when handing the rings its easier.
Behind and to the right of the groom.
* The Bride and Groom sit in the middle of the head table and the bride is on the Groom's right; then her Maid (or Matron) of Honor; then the Bridesmaids. To the left of the Groom is his Best Man and the Ushers.
The groom stands to the right sideways to watch his bride come down the aisle and his Best Man stands beside him.
The best man and maid of honor only stand at the altar if it's a chapel wedding. In a traditional wedding the best man along with the groom and ushers stand to the right of the altar. Before the bride comes down the aisle (if there is a flower girl or ring bearer) they go first; then the bridesmaids; then the maid of honor and the bride comes down last holding onto her father's arm. Once at the altar the Minister will ask if the father agrees to give his daughter away and he will reply 'yes.' Then the father sits down on the left side beside his wife in the front pew. The bride and groom then face each other to begin their vows. The maid of honor stands off to the side behind the bride in order to take her bouquet once the ring ceremony begins and the bridesmaids are in a row just off to the right of the maid of honor. The best man stands behind the groom in order to give the groom the wedding ring and the ushers stand behind and to the right of the best man.
* No, the mother of the bride and the parents of the groom sit in the front pews closest to the bride and groom as the father of the bride will walk down the aisle with his daughter, side down with his wife, then will stand to give his daughter's hand in marriage and sit back down again. The groom and his best man are already standing at the right of the altar.
Right behind the groom and just in front of all the groomsmen.
The bride stands on the left of the groom and beside her is her maid of honor and bridesmaids and the groom stands on the right with his best man just behind him and the ushers. This custom is all about gentleman's manners such a man walking down a sidewalk close to the side of the traffic to protect the woman he is with. It's simply good old manners started many years ago and some of these manners continue to this day.
You do not introduce the groom at the church. He will come out to the right with his best man and ushers behind them and stand by the altar When the bride and groom have been married and enter the reception hall they are introduced by the Master of Ceremonies (MC) as 'Mr. & Mrs.' At the reception there could be a reception line so guests can congratulate the married couple. If you get into a private conversation with another couple who may not know the groom you would then introduce him as your son-in-law John Doe.
The groom can give his best man his gift while they are getting ready for the wedding which is generally at the groom's parent's home or the groom's own home.
The groom chooses his closest friend to be his best man and the best man is there to wait on the groom before the wedding. The best man helps the groom get dressed and is sure to have the brides wedding band in his own pocket to give to the groom at the wedding ceremony. The groom is also there to calm down the groom if he is nervous.
Bride is to bridesmaids as groom is to groomsmen. Bride is to maid of honor as groom is to best man Here brides are to bridesmaids as grooms are to the best man.
