I'm just commenting to pile on.

@addiecake Hahahahah nice! See my point though? I'm sure she got the hint after the first 5, so the subsequent posts saying the same thing are not really needed to hammer home the answer. If they haven't lurked yet, they will just do a DD then jump to WW and then host a shitshow. lol

I thought we went over the logistics of how a forum discussion works in your thread?

My bridesman was growing a giant, crazy, ungroomed beard for Red Sox season last year to complement his pony tail. He is proud of it. I didn't give a shit that he kept it for my wedding. He's one of my best friends and that's just who he is.

Oh, how I wish my friends haircuts were my biggest concern.

Im beating up DF's attendant if he cuts his hair. It's this amazing deep red shade, he's got disgustingly perfect ringlet curls and if his hair isn't past his shoulders, it's this unfortunate Bozo the Clown look. Thus, he's getting hit hard if he cuts his hair.

Yes, I'm serious. Fists will fly.

Please note that a) the attendant is my beloved big brother, b) I've punched him many, many times before and c) I'm crazy jealous of his hair

Most importantly, I'm being sarcastic. He cuts his hair, he cuts his hair. He'll still be my brother. Which means I will blatantly use any bad pictures to torment him for years.

But I still want to know why the people who feel that way don't also feel a few supportive comments are all anybody needs as well. Nobody ever says , " OK, stop giving support now. The first few posts were enough to make the point." If you want it that way for the negative reactions, @jenna8984, then you should want it for the positive ones as well.

On a different note from many posters, I wouldn't let him know that it bothers you, because that might encourage him to continue to grow out & not pull it back for the day. Anything can happen between now & your wedding, he could get annoyed with the growing out process & end up cutting it short again and then it's not longer an issue. On the day of the wedding, maybe have some ponytail holders availabe in your emergency kit so that way if he has a last minute change in mind and wants to pull it back, if he goes does any one have a rubber band, you can be the hero & go yes in my emergency kit.

I'm guessing it's the BM he confided in that told you that his plans. Talk to her and see if maybe she can convince him that getting going to a profesional stylist to get a hair cut will help keep his hair healthy & encourage growth and they can also give him a style that will grow out nicely. Then he can continue to grow it out but it won't look as messy.

I do get your concern about wanting your Bridal Party to look their best. Which is why we offered (not demanded) to pay for one of our GM to get his hair cut & beard trimmed. Before everyone rips me a new one for doing that, it was important to us for our friend to be a part of our special day & he was financially strapped so we paid for his tux and for him to attend the Bachlor Party and even a hotel room the week of the wedding because his electricity had been out due to a storm & his GF had just been released from the hospital & they had no heat either. . So we asked him if he wanted us to set up and appointment for him our treat when my husband was going for his pre-wedding haircut. He said yes & the stylist stayed within his normal look, just cleaned it up. But had he said no, we wouldn't have kicked him out of the WP.
