The Role and Duties of the Usher
The ushers are chosen by the groom and are
usually chosen from among the brothers or cousins of the bride
or groom. Just as the bride chooses her bridesmaids' dresses,
so the groom chooses the attire of the usher. In the case of a
Scottish wedding this can mean that the groom chooses which tartan
is worn.
The usher has a few well-defined and a few not so well-defined
duties. The main ones are to show people to their seats and distribute
orders of service. Apart from that they should work in unison
with the best man to ensure things run smoothly by helping with
the organisation of transport from one venue to the other if required
and just generally being on hand and attentive to the guests.
It's generally a good idea to have at least one usher from either
family, particularly if they are to introduce people to the wedding
party line up at the reception venue.
