Best-Man

The role of best man was a ceremonial position at both wizarding and Muggle weddings. The role was generally chosen by the groom and was therefore normally occupied by someone close to him.
At the wedding of Queenie and Jacob, Newt Scamander was the best man and at the wedding of James Potter and Lily Evans, Sirius Black was chosen as the best man, as he was the best friend of the groom. Similarly, the best man at the wedding of William Weasley and Fleur Delacour was Charles Weasley, the eldest brother of the groom.
It is possible that, as in the Muggle world, the best man was usually made the godfather of the wedded couple's first child. This theory is supported by the fact that Sirius Black became the godfather of Lily and James Potter's only child.
