    Seriously, you want us to pick which of your brothers you should pick?
    Eh.... The middle one??

    We don't know you or your brothers, so how could we possibly decide for you.

    The one you are closest to I suppose???

    Why not, just do it backwards - 3 Best men and 1 grooms man

    maybe the fiancé's brother will change his mind then... :)

    whichever is the least goodlooking.

    if they are all equally good looking/ugly go for the shortest/fattest.

    or the one with the least amount of incriminating skeletons that could be brought up in a speech.

    Wow, the things people ask the internet for advice on :)

    You have 3 brothers and you can't decide, have any of them been best man before? if not, ask them, everyone should be a best man once in their lives. Are any of them married already? If they are did they ask you to be best man, if they did, ask them, if they didn't discount them. Is 1 of them single? if so ask them that way they won't have to leave their partner alone for the day. Do any of them have kids? If so discount them so they can mind them.

    Otherwise, put the names in a hat and pick 1

    I picked a friend due to not wanting to pick one of my brothers.. Plus a friend will be a better man for the job!

    your bestman is supposed to be your best friend

    who is your best friend out of the 3 brothers? but i would pick the middle one, cos they are always forgotten about and are the least loved :cool:

    Bring the three of them out to the pub and tell them you're going to draw lots and the most unlucky of the three has to endure all that talking bullshít and stress that best men have to put up with. In front of them, do the draw. That's as fair and politically sensitive as you can get. Seriously.
