Grooming tips for wedding day jitters
After months of planning, the big
day has finally arrived. A wedding
march has begun, the bride is being
bustled, the guests are settled and
all eyes are on...the groom!
While there are many wedding
day rituals to ensure a beautiful
bride, it is just as important for a
groom to be well-groomed. But
men know that a little preparation
can go a long way. On average,
they spend 23 minutes grooming
themselves each day; on special
occasions, 31 minutes.
Following are some wedding-day
tips to ensure the groom looks and
feels his best. After all, it's his
special day, too!
Hair Care
The best hairstyle for a groom?
Something classic and neat that
won't look dated in wedding-day
pictures. And because men's hair
Celebrated as the most romantic
day of the year, Valentine's Day
never fails to spark the desire for
sweethearts to send flowers or
heart-shaped boxes of chocolate, or
ask their beloved to marry them.
Proposing marriage was once as
simple as dropping to one knee
with diamond ring in hand, but
times have changed...while getting
down on one knee is still an option,
many grooms-to-be (and some-
times brides-to-be) are finding
delightfully inventive ways to
propose.
The sky's the limit when it comes
to marriage proposals, from the
subtle slipping of a ring onto the
girlfriend's finger during a romantic
film like Cinderella, to a more
complex approach such as
organizing a scavenger hunt with
clues that lead all over town and
eventually to an engagement ring.
Here are some of the more
creative proposals from across the
tends to grow fast, have your hair
cut during the week before your
wedding for the freshest look.
Starting Smart
Eat a light, healthy breakfast to
boost your energy for the day. Try
a bowl of oatmeal or natural cereal
with fruit or nuts and nonfat milk, a
grapefruit, a glass of juice and a
cup of decaffeinated coffee or tea.
No-Nick Shaving
Shower or bathe before you
shave, and wash the face and neck
with warm water. It takes about
two minutes of soaking to achieve
optimal beard softening for a
comfortable shave.
Apply plenty of shaving cream or
gel to keep beard hair moist during
the shave; try a sensitive skin or
aloe-enriched shaving cream or gel.
Don't Sweat It
The pressure of getting married is
no sweat to handle with a strong
nation:
Romance in Motion. A man was
annoyed when a bus cut in front of
his car on the freeway, but what the
advertisement on the back of the
bus displayed really slowed him
down. It was a "Happy Birthday"
message from his girlfriend which
included a request, "Will you marry
me?" Scheming with his boss, the
girlfriend had arranged for the ads
to run on five buses.
A Surprise Inside. A bride was
surprised to see a proposal
addressed to her, flash on the score-
board at a football game. Her ring
was concealed inside a box of
Cracker Jacks a vendor handed her
at just the right moment. She said,
"Yes!"
Lessons in Love. A seventh-
grade teacher was startled one
Valentine's Day when a giant box
covered in red hearts was rolled
into her science classroom. After
anti-perspirant. New technology
makes it even easier to get better
protection from odour and wetness
with active ingredients that
penetrate underarm hair and go
directly to the skin.
Scentsational Accessories
When walking down the aisle, it's
important to put one's best face
forward. To replenish moisture and
soften skin, aftershave skin
conditioners are ideal. Many
aftershave skin conditioners feature
great fragrances. These masculine
fragrances are also available as
aftershave splashes, appropriate for
all occasions, including a wedding.
Nail News
Men everywhere are handing
their hands over to manicurists.
Nails are cut, cleaned and buffed.
Cuticles are trimmed or pushed
back. Hands are soaked and
reading a card that promised her
three wishes, and tapping the top of
the box with the magical Cupid's
arrow, out popped her boyfriend
with a dozen roses, a box of candy
and an engagement ring.
Have Carrot Will Marry.
Easter inspired one groom-to-be to
get a jump on things. He donned a
rabbit costume and hopped on over
to his beloved's house where he
presented her with a carrot out of
the basket he was carrying. The tip
of the carrot sparkled with a carat
of another kind — a diamond
engagement ring.

A great look for the groom?
Short nails that just exceed
fingertips, with square or round
tips.
Wedding Day Duds
Formalwear is determined by
time of day and formality of
wedding. Even if yours is a black-
tie affair, make sure your tuxedo is
comfortable. The key to looking

feeling comfortable and confident.
Clothes that are too tight or
mismatched for your body type will
make you look ill-at-ease and feel
awkward and uncomfortable.
Premium men's grooming
products, and aftershave skin
conditioners, are available at drug
stores, mass market and super-
market outlets everywhere.
