Facial Hair? Yea or Nay?

What's your stance on wedding day facial hair?? Are you shaving your face completely clean? Or would you look weird without your beard? Will you (or your groom) be.... A) So fresh and so clean-shaven? B) Sporting some sexy stubble? C) Keeping it trim and tidy? or... D) Bring on the beard!! Photo...

    Clean-shaved! I’m not really a facial hair person. FH looks good with stubble, but it hurts to kiss with that 😂

    C! My fiancé looks like a little boy without a beard. He hasn’t been without one in probably 2 years 😱

    I have a decent sized beard and my future wife to be would kill me if I shaved it! Will I take the time to trim and shape it of course. I met my future wife with a beard and I will marry her with a beard Smiley smile

    I haven't actually seen my FH without facial hair except through pictures. So far it looks like he is 10-12 years old in every picture without facial hair. Hahaha. So, needless to say, it will be C on the wedding day. He would just not look right without his facial hair, and he keeps it super short, so it's all good!

    Full Beard, just make sure you groom it and keep it clean! Use a nice oil and butter

    Probably C. Not sure. He usually rotates clean shaven & beard. I guess it depends on his mood. It doesn’t matter at all to me.

    While my preference is A, it’s ultimately up to FH, though I believe he will end up clean shaven 😊

    I think he’s going to try to go full beard. I thought I hated it until he shaved, but then I remembered he has the biggest baby face ever. And our boss is begging him to keep it 😂 So I guess the beard can stay. At least it’s somewhat even.

    I’m keeping mine. Probably run some beard oil through it and hit up a barber to trim the more stubborn flyaways. She loves the beard as long as it’s combed and tidy.

    My fiancee has literally never seen me clean shaven. As it is a fall wedding, I will be C, (summer would be a bit shorter, almost stubble territory) in fact my beard looks almost exactly, in length and color, like the photo by Koby Brown photography there.

    It is interesting that there has been a changes in western men's facial hair fashion as it pertains to marriage. as from the mid-19th century through the early 20th, unmarried men may commonly have been cleanshaven or grown mustaches/sideburns/whatever but a full beard usually was more associated with married men. This tradition is still held in some Mennonite and Amish communities. Nowadays it seems more common that unmarried men have beards while just a mustache has become less frequent (but still present) in younger men and more common in men whose formative years were the 702/80s/early 90s (the "Dad Stache").

    Of Beards and Men, by Christopher Oldstone-Moore is a good book about those changes in general (not just marriage)

    FH is usually either clean shaven or a well maintained goatee. I told him I want the goatee for the wedding cause he has such a baby face when he's clean shaven... seriously, he looks like a 6 ft toddler lol.

    That’s a hard one because some men look hot with a little stubble and other look good with a big beard or clean shaven. Depends on the face. I told my FH husband he’s not allowed to do a clean shave again! Omg it was so weird lol.
