I would argue that this should be considered a ritual related stub (if there is such a thing) and not a festival related stub.--Dustin Asby 07:06, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Why does the article adopt a British Point of View (POV)? Should be more neutral. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.6.28.26 (talk) 01:08, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Usher", not "groomsman", in much (maybe most) of North America[edit]

A groomsman (North America, Australasia) or usher (Britain, Ireland) is ...

I came to this article because I came across the word "groomsman" and didn't know what it meant. I've lived in many parts of the US for 74 years, I've attended many weddings, and I have never heard the groom's attendants called anything but "ushers". Since the article gives no references—reliable or otherwise—supporting the strict geographical assignments of the two terms, I'm going to remove them from the intro, so that the article begins simply "A groomsman or usher is ..." —8.9.93.141 (talk) 09:37, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"First Speech"[edit]

The first sentence of the article indicates groomsmen are somehow involved in performing a "first speech". I've never seen a groomsman give a speech during a wedding, and usually there are multiple groomsmen so I don't know how multiple people are supposed to give one speech. I'm deleting that part of the sentence. 73.170.162.108 (talk) 17:38, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
