Best Answer

A best man around A.D. 200 carried more than a ring. Since there remained the real threat of

the bride's family's attempting to forcibly gain her return, the best man stayed by the groom's

side throughout the marriage ceremony, alert and armed. He also might serve as a sentry

outside the newlyweds' home. IVI
