I'll never understand why everyone seems to feel obliged to shave for weddings. Maybe that is an American specialty? (I live in Europe) - I have been to many weddings (and always with a full beard), and never did the idea cross my mind that me or anyone else had to shave (or trim down to stubble or so) for that occasion.
But this topic occurs again and again here on the beard board. Maybe it is time for a little revolution...
