The Battle for Best Man: Round One

Remember how I said I've always kinda known who would be in my bridal party? Yeah, you know who hasn't?

The Boy.

I mean, he had no problem choosing a group guys (post on that coming up later), but he hasn't kept a constant roster in his head since he was twelve.

After narrowing down his group, however, he did have trouble picking a Best Man. It came down to his two best friends...but wasn't sure which to choose. So he gave them an option:

1. He makes a random choice between the two
2. They compete for it

They're boys, so, ...wanna guess what they chose? Duh. Competition.

And so began

The Battle for Best Man

The Boy decided he would design seven different challenges to assess their skills and worthiness at being his Best Man. These challenges would be based on mutual interests, talents, and knowledge, and would occur over the months leading up to the wedding. First contender to four wins gets the title.

The guys competed in their first challenge last week.

For any of you that know the Boy and his buddies, they're self-proclaimed movie buffs. They've even co-authored a book called The Official Compendium of Movie Ratings which details their opinions on movies, some dating all the way back to the 1940s.

So, for the first challenge, the boys were given a list of movies they'd all reviewed. Their job was to guess how Paul had ranked each movie - getting points depending on how close they were to his official rating. Man with the highest score won.

The winner of this challenge:

Cameron!

Official Score now stands at

Challenge 2 is already in the works - update to come soon.

Happy Monday, all!
