Plan B, always a Necessity

Spotlight Vendor: Scotty P the Barber

There is always so much focus on the bride being flawlessly beautiful with goddess like makeup and stunning hair.  She has to be picture perfect, every strand of hair secured in its place.  But while she is glowing and magnificent, where’s her counterpart and how does he look?  All the preparation of beauty and scheduling…
