On "Friends", who was the best man at Ross's wedding to Emily?

The story behind the answer

Both Joey Tribbiani and Chandler Bing were the best men at Ross Geller’s wedding to Emily Waltham. Ross chose his two closest friends to stand beside him during the London ceremony.

The wedding takes place in the two-part fourth-season finale, “The One with Ross’s Wedding.” Joey and Chandler had previously competed for the honor, with each trying to prove he was Ross’s best friend. Ross ultimately avoided choosing between them and made them co-best men, allowing both to participate in the ceremony.

Their roles are visible during the wedding procession: Joey escorts Emily’s stepmother Andrea, while Chandler walks with Monica. The ceremony becomes one of the show’s most famous moments when Ross accidentally says Rachel’s name instead of Emily’s during his vows. That mistake overshadows the formal wedding-party question, which is why some viewers remember only the later altar scene rather than the fact that Joey and Chandler shared the role.
