Dear Queenie,
I’m getting married next year and my fiancé wants his best friend to be his best man, but his friend has a long scruffy beard. He is good-looking without the beard but with it he really looks horrible.
Queenie, is it okay for me to say he can’t be best man unless he shaves his beard?—Bride-to-be
Dear Bride-to-be,
If you ask him to shave his beard entirely, you risk his refusing and your being labelled a “bridezilla.” Would it be enough for you if he merely trimmed it shorter and brushed it into some semblance of neatness?
