Grooming for the Groom

Photo by Dave Miyamoto and Company

As standard practice, brides schedule manicures into their wedding preparation regimen. Grooms, however, seldom give thought to their own nails as it relates to their wedding. Little do they realize that wedding day photos often include close-up shots of the groom's hand...holding the bride's hand, exchanging rings, and signing the marriage license.

To put your best foot (er, hand) forward, I suggest that all grooms invest in a manicure for themselves a day or two prior to their wedding. We all want to see pampered fingertips in photos, with clean and evenly trimmed nails, pushed back cuticles, and no hangnails! Even the most macho of grooms can appreciate the pampering treatment of the hand massage that comes with the experience, so gentlemen, mark your calendars, and be sure to treat yourselves to a pre-wedding mani, too!
