Mate being cheeky?

[Baron von Trumpen Bottom]

I'm my mates best man on Friday and he wants us to wear kilts he's now hit me tonight that the kilt is ready for collection and I'll need to pay about £50ish for it now not flush at the moment so feel like saying **** it I'll wear my suit instead. So is he being cheeky asking me to pay or should it be him?

Depends how good a mate you are?


He may be skint and whatever but should at least pay some i reckon!

wait to Friday, Your meant to leave you card open to collect any outstanding bills on the day so the groom is not pestered

Been best man at two friends weddings in the past two years.

One was in Barcelona and I wasn't aware that I had to pay for my own suit until I turned up at the hire shop in some Spanish back street and was told in broken English that I wasn't allowed out with the suit until I'd handed over some cash, lots of cash, in fact.

The other wedding was in the UK and I turned up at the outfitters to find that the suit had 'been sorted' by the groom, lovely.

That makes it 50/50 in my experience so maybe you've just been unlucky and copped the cheapskates wedding first?

He should have told you beforehand if there's a cost.

when i was best man my best mate (who has since severed all contact) asked me to pay for suit hire, which i couldn't afford. i just told him and he was a bit pissed but not a lot he could do really. when i got married i made sure i had enough to cover the cost for my best man. and my dad. and her dad. and my son. cost more than the bleeding dress, and swmbo got to keep that!

bit cheeky I reckon, I've done the job twice and never had to pay for a thing.

give it a miss. Weddings are over rated. (if your size 8 i could send you the wife's tartan mini skirt )

Asked on another website and seems 50/50 split about payming might just tell him I'm skint and cangt afford it

Tell him your skint, or mention it in your speech

I was an usher at a frinds wedding and they wanted us all in matching kilts

Groom picked up the tab
