Why can't the Best Man be married?
The term "Best Man" does not seem to have come into common usage until late in the nineteenth century. Thomas Jefferson (1872) used the term "groomsman" and described his duties as being very similar to those of the present-day Best Man. He was expected to be a close friend of the groom and UNMARRIED. Charles Dickens asked his publisher, John Macrone, to be his Best Man at his wedding but had to withdraw the invitation on the insistence of his Bride-to-be because Macrone was married.
