I've been to a few weddings where the poor best man got his back slapped...I wonder the meaning behind this particular tradition?
(Listen out for the women in the background, she's a hoot... )

One can only wonder why an earth not Raymanoff...
You must have been so disappointed though to not be given the opportunity to be involved in this particular fun tradition, but don't worry I'm sure they'll be plenty of other opportunities to wear a hand shaped red mark on your back for a week (at least..)

It's weird, I've been to some weddings where they've done it and some where they haven't...
It's a puzzle that's for sure
