Hold somebody like people do like after a wedding. Where your arms are in front of you and they are laying long ways. How do you train for this?

Aside from the fact that it shouldn't be difficult to do this...
Your arms (bis/tris/forearms/shoulders) play a major roll in this, and your legs as well, to make sure you can stand up. Your abs/lower back act as stabilizer muscles....
Basically, there is no need to "train" for this moment, because it is nto that strenuous and most people could do it regardless. But, if you really want to train, you could look into a powerlifting routine...Making it my job to educate the younguns...

No im serious. I was lifting my brother who was about 180 pounds and it was alot of work. It is not that easy to hold somebody in this way if they don't hold onto you.

I can pick somebody up im just saying it is not easy. You would think that since you lift in the gym it would be really easy but it isnt. You guys go find somebody heavy and see how long you can hold them out if front of you without thier arms holding on to you.

forearms, bis, and lower back do the most of the work, so train them. theres plenty of exercises on the main site.If you think you can, or you think you cant, your right.

Well
You could also emulate the motion with a barbell... Kind of deadlifting it up and then a curling motion. The thing is, most guys would be able to lift the person up, the tiring part is holding them their using your biceps. If you lean back a little the weight will push more against your chest and you could stabilize it using your abs. I think that'd be easier than holding them right out in front of you.
