In the past, when I was healthy, one of my closest friends mentioned a few times that when he theoretically gets married, he would like me to be his best man. I've always been super excited about the idea. He's currently on vacation with his partner and told me that he wants to speak to me really soon when he gets home, so I think it's happening!
I just had a panic attack - I realised that he may ask me now and I'm scared that I won't be able to live up to the duties of a best man! Besides the fact I'm a cis woman so being a best man is all new to me, right now I'm managing to do maybe 2-3 hours out of the house once a week - how could I possibly do the job?
I was wondering, has anybody else here been part of a bridal party while ill, and how did it go? Any tips on making it work?
I wonder if I could ask him if I could be co-best-man and split the duties with someone with more energy than me - or would that be a faux pas?! Any advice would be very gratefully received.
