Am I overreacting? Grooms new haircut....

Pandie, 29 April, 2009 at 19:56 Posted on Planning 0 13

I know I haven't posted much, but I really need to let off some steam! Our wedding is next week, and today my H2B has come home with a really short hair cut, that I hate. It was only the other weekend that his mum and I both said, we like it a little longer (ie over an inch) and that's how I'd really like him to have it for the wedding. And I said ideally he should have his hair cut at least two weeks before to allow it to soften. Instead we end up with this. I just feel like I've spent months and months hand beading dresses, searching for the perfect tiara, contemplating hair and make up, and he's spent five minutes and gone and got 'the haircut he had when we first met' as though it would be nostalgic. Then he began saying how he was going to get a shave the day before....even though his beard grows like wild fire. I just keep thinking how all the photos are going to look, and that in 20 years time I'll be looking at them thinking, god what and awful haircut. And lets face it, there's not really a lot we can do now. Aaaaaaaaaaah!

    Um, a little, yes. Imagine if he told you how to have your hair? It does sound like he has thought about it too.

    You'll be surprised how fast his hair will grow in a month, and I very much doubt in 20 years time will think that, it'll probably be the last thing you think of after 'oh, what a great day we had', 'don't we look young', 'how fashions have changed'.

    Exactly!

    Oh god, what a pain! Nothing much you can do about it now, maybe he'll be extra specially nice to you make it up to you. Are there any unfinished jobs you can get him to do?

    To be honest you probably won't even notice it on the day so relax & enjoy the last few days of singledom

    It's next week, not next month! If it was next month I wouldn't mind! I think the wedding stress is getting to me!! I think because it was a big change it's a bit of a shock as well. It was almost four inches long because he'd left it so long. Deep breaths, hopefully the nice sunny weather will encourage it to soften. And I've been in tears over everything today.

    Ah sorry, misread that for one month. You're entitled to stress out a little more then, but in all honesty there's nothing you can do about it so refocus the stress to something you can do something about!

    Thanks guys. I think I just needed to let of some steam about it. Am turning into bridezilla! Nooooo! Will go and make up with him now. Things go a bit out of perspective when you feel stressed (I'm sure you all know about wedding stress!) There's just such a lot to worry about! Thankfully his hair grows quickly - he's done something right!

    YES!

    Sorry, what I am going to say prob sounds a bit harsh, but when I look back in 20 yrs at our photos I (hopefully) will be thinking what a lovely day we had. Does it really matter what he looks like? I'm sure you are not marrying him for his hair.

    Really sorry but I think you need to get a grip and focus on the important bits of the day, I think you are in serious danger of turning into Bridezilla.

    Ah hair is hair-love is love! When you are old and grey sitting in your rocking chairs holding hands you'll be wishing he had even that tiny little bit of hair!

    Honestly? It is maybe a little bit mad to be soooo pissed off about it ... hair isn't really what the day is about - his or yours! He's still the man you want to marry for all the right reason, whether his hair is over an inch long or not... don't focus on it, just let it go - its really not worth getting stressed about!

    Your photos and memories of the day in 20 years time will be about a whole lot more than the length of your hubbies hair - I hope!!

    Good luck next week!

    (edited to add in the word 'hair' to stop a sentance from reading VERY badly!!!!)

    To be honest I thought this was a joke post.

    I know we all have rants and stuff but really if it bothers you that much that you seriously think that when you looked at the photos all you would focus on is the bad hair + beard then you really need to think about what the day is for. Sorry to be harsh and we all have our bridezilla moments but get a grip woman.

    It's just hair, it's not his willy that's been chopped off ?

    Sounds to me as though he's done a nice thing. Quite sweet. I feel a bit sorry for him. Some grooms don't seem to get an awful lot of say in weddings, and the poor bloke's got himself a haircut which he obviously likes and you're stressing! On the day, you'll be too busy staring into his eyes to notice.

    Alternatively - there are always hair extensions..... if it's good enough for Peter Andre.....
