A couple of weeks ago I was asked to be a part of one of my girlfriends’ wedding next summer. I was extremely excited and automatically assumed I would be in the groom’s party, you know because I’m a guy. I was wrong. While looking at my friend’s wedding website, I noticed that I was listed as a bridesman. I chuckled a little. I’ve never actually seen or heard of a bridesman, but then I remembered that it’s 2015 and America has come a long way.
My friendship with my girlfriend is so strong that she felt no hesitation to go against the norm. Our friendship triumphed over anti-gay fanatics and religious control freaks. According to an article in Evolutionary Psychology, straight women and gay men make the perfect BFFs because they don’t have the issue of sexual tension and are not in competition for mates. And for that same reason, they are also in the perfect position to give each other honest relationship advice.
The article states that women tend to have a positive body image and feel appreciated for their personality when they have a gay BFF. The bond between a straight woman and a gay guy has been proven by science that their friendship is the most desirable. Gay guys make the best bridesmen and here are five reasons why you should say yes to a bridesman:
1. He Adds a Little Spice to Your Wedding
Your bridesman will definitely add something special to your wedding. He will make it modern, unique, and most importantly memorable.
2. He is YOUR Friend
Your G.B.F is your friend, not your fiancee’s friend. If you and your fiancee get into a fight, your G.B.F. will definitely take your side.He deserves to strut his stuff down the aisle to make his way next to you and your other best friends.
3. He Really Rocks Those Colors
Let’s be real, your G.B.F. rocks those bridesmaid’s colors better than the bridesmaids do.
4. He Brings the Rager to Your Bacherlorette Party
He will get you the best looking strippers, I mean strippers for your party. Magic Mike anyone?
5. Cold Feet, He Can Fix That
Even though he is losing you as his down to go out and stalk hot boys friend, he will remind you that you are in love and you are making the right decision.
