best men

Groom's top picks

Best men is the plural of best man, the chief male attendant at a wedding.

Some grooms choose multiple best men rather than singling out one friend: He couldn't decide between his brothers, so he asked them both to be best men.

The best men typically share duties like holding the rings and giving toasts.
