Will your wedding photos come back to haunt you?

We all have our love for facial hair and sideburns. He used to sport a long goatee that he had dyed bright red. Yeah, it seemed like a good idea at the time. We’ve all seen Dad’s wedding photos, groomsmen with huge mustaches, lamb chop sideburns, and oh my God, The Mullet! My dad gave me some advice on my wedding day, he said, “Son, get that crap off your face, don’t date your photos.”

Having thought about this, I think it was some of the best advice I could have received. You want your wedding photos to be timeless.

Sure, Wolverine is cool and all… but…

Ah, the lamb chop sideburn. They look great on Wolverine and Elvis, but do you want them in your wedding photos? When you take your photos in years to come, will your children have a good laugh at

Dad’s ridiculous facial hair? This goes for beards (do you really want your bride to go through that on your wedding night?), goatee beards, soul patches, the cool ’80s beard, and the “porn stache” now sported by Brad Pitt. . Note that you have yours for a movie role. Having facial hair that was cool at a certain time will date your photos, letting people know exactly when you got married and how “cool” you thought you were at the time. You want your photos to be timeless!

Ha ha, Dad had a mullet!

It doesn’t stop at guys with facial hair, oh no. Remember the Faux Hawk, the Vanilla Ice lines, and the dreaded Hockey Hair or Mullet! Entire web pages have been dedicated to mullet, do you want your wedding photos to be in a place like this? I did not think! It may have been all business in the front and a party in the back, the best of both worlds you say? HELL NO!!! I loved the new version of Miami Vice so I grew my hair and a little mustache, I found out I was NOT as cool as Colin Farrell and my wife and friends still make fun of me. I will be eternally grateful that this phase came after my wedding. Sure, your personality should shine through in every aspect of the wedding, but let’s keep it classy, ​​okay?

So how do you tackle head and facial hair? For facial hair I suggest you pamper yourself a bit. On the morning of your wedding, after having a good breakfast. Head to a predetermined barber shop and get a nice hot towel facial and razor shave. This will ensure the smoothness of a baby’s bottom from your face for your wedding and all the associated kissing there. Better yet, have the barber come up to her hotel room.

As for your glorious head hair. I suggest getting your hair cut in the style you want for the wedding a few weeks before. This ensures that it will look good and you will like the style. Right before the wedding, go back to the same guy and get a cut. Sounds simple, right? Well, I had my hair cut just before the wedding, it was too short and I look like I have a Marine day pass in my photos. Worse yet, at the right angle of the sun, it looks like I’m pretty bald.

Simon’s Brave Boyfriend’s Advice

So just a few things to recap here. Shave that crap off your face, take some pampering time, and don’t cut your hair before the wedding, just cut it. Oh, and one more thing, if you decide to dye your hair, give it time to make it look natural. If your wedding is on Saturday DO NOT dye your mop on Friday night. It will look fake and you may also have runaway dye on your scalp. Nobody wants that.

If you want, you can turn shaving into an outing for all of your groomsmen. The bridal party hair and makeup, why can’t you and your guys get a hot towel facial and a shave? That way, you know that none of your groomsmen will show up with crazy facial hair. Maybe talk to them when you ask them to be at the groom’s party, as some people have a great attachment to their facial hair and may not want to give it up.

You want your photos to be timeless, yes, I’ve said it before, but I can’t say it enough. You don’t want your kids to pull out your wedding photo album to laugh with their friends, you want them to pull out that album and tell their friends how hot their parents were and especially how great their “Pops” looked. .
