Although the bride’s dress is the
one that captures most of the attention on her wedding day, the groom’s wear is
as important as the bride’s, as they have to choose attires that complement
each other and make their special day perfect. After deciding what style of
suit the groom is going to wear, he has to think about the shoes he is going to
wear. Here is all a groom has to consider when looking for his wedding shoes.
The Fabric of the Shoe The most common choice of fabric is
leather. No matter if it is soft or heavy leather, these shoes will not only give
you breathing space for your feet, but also give the groom a perfect wear for
such an important event like his wedding.
Design
of the Shoe Protocol
dictates that grooms wedding shoes should have laces and never buckles, as
buckles detract from the elegance of the outfit. It is also recommended that
the shoes be plain, with no patterns or pleats. With a simple design of
his shoes, the groom will have an elegant wear for his wedding day
Color of the shoe When talking about grooms shoes, black is
always the safe color because it goes with everything. It does not matter
if your tux is black, brown, or purple, black shoes always
compliments the ensemble. But, if the groom really wants to match his wedding
shoes to his wedding suit, he should choose a color that complements it.
Match the suit Another important thing for a groom’s wear is to make sure the
shoes match his wedding tux and suit. Usually the shops that sell
bridegroom dresses, offer matching shoes too. Almost all the time the
seller will present the corresponding wedding dresses, suits and shoes.
Comfort of the Shoe When you choose the shoes, the groom
should think about the fact that he is going to spend at least 12 hours wearing
them, so the groom may want to make sure that he doesn't stuff his size
thirteen into a size ten. Leather dress wedding shoes can vary from heavy or soft leather but either way, leather allows the feet to breathe.
Casual Wedding Shoes Many grooms choose a more casual and fun
approach to their wedding and opt to wear tennis or canvas shoes with trendy
socks. You can also opt for sandals or anything less formal which can be worn
for weddings on the beach, or in the country. The casual wedding shoes
are also common for those weddings where the bride and groom have gone for
their own style and have moved away from tradition.
Fitting of the Shoe A good thing for grooms to remember when they go out to
shop for their wedding shoes is to take socks and/or insoles that they will be
wearing at the wedding, along with them.

10 Awesome Ways to Throw
a Bachelor Party
BACHELOR PARTIES NEED ONLY YOUR FRIENDS
It's the 21st century and bachelor party ideas are bound to get hot
with the changing times. There's more fun to be had when you and the guys go do
something crazy or something familiar that reminds you of the good old days in
college.
Here are a few bachelor
party ideas that'll surely be a hit with the groom and the groomsmen, without
getting a stern scolding from the bride-to-be:
1. Rent jet skis for a
day on the water. Jet-skiing is always a favorite for stag parties.
2. Spend the day
golfing. Some people enjoy golf more than adrenaline-pumping action. So treat
the guys to a healthy game of golf.
3. Create a casino
night, complete with a paid dealer. Everybody secretly loves to dabble in a
little bit of gambling, so add a little twist to game night and hire a
professional dealer to supervise casino night.
4. Take a deep sea
fishing trip, charter a fishing boat, or take a lesson in fly fishing
5. Take a camping or
backpacking trip. There's nothing better than enjoying the great outdoors with
your best friends and what better way to do that than by taking a long hike up
the mountain and having a bonfire party in a camp.
6. Attend a boxing tournament.
Nothing like some good ol' manly bonding over boxing or wrestling to highlight
a stag party.
7. Plan a game of a
football, basketball, soccer, or bowling. Like your old college days,

GROOMING Monday 11 Monday 2015
How to Grow Facial Hair Faster
Fewer personal expressions
are so deeply and timelessly tied to masculinity than facial hair -- Charles
Darwin himself believed that the beard survived due to female choice, as a
potent expression of masculinity. Whether you agree with Darwin or not, there's
little doubt that facial hair reveals a rugged, independent side of the wearer.
If you're
anxious to sport some scruff, genetics are your best friend or your worst enemy.
While your genes play the most important role in facial hair growth, you can do
a few things to help speed the process along.
Eat to Grow
Just like the hair on your
head, the hair on your face is primarily composed of protein. As such, a diet
rich in protein and hair-healthy vitamins helps accelerate hair growth and
encourage healthy hair. Incorporate lean red meats, egg yolks, turkey and beans
to bolster your protein and iron intake. In addition to eggs, avocados, salmon,
almonds and peanuts pack plenty of the B-vitamin biotin, which promotes hair
growth. To enrich your facial hair's thickness, turn to silica-rich bananas,
oats and raisins. Taking in plenty of fruits and vegetables gives your body
lots of vitamin C, which in turn promotes hair-building iron absorption. For
optimal growth, drink plenty of water and reduce your intake of sugar and
caffeine.
Pump Up Your Beard
Incorporate exercises such as squats, running and lifting
weights; combination of cardio and strength training can boost testosterone
production while improving circulation, the latter of which helps your body
make the most of a hair-building diet.
Protect
for Success
If you're going for a lengthy
beard or mustache, protecting your current facial hair from damage not only
makes way for healthy new growth, but it also improves the appearance and
texture of your current hair. Defend against wind, sea salt, smog and chlorine
with the application of grape-seed or jojoba oil. Shampoo your facial hair
regularly with a light shampoo, such as pine-tar soap or a low-residue beard
wash, to nourish the hair you have while creating a healthy environment for new
hair growth.
More
to Consider
In
addition to exercise, sleep is essential -- about 7 to 9 hours per night -- for
healthy facial hair growth. Stress may inhibit hair growth; try meditation and
yoga to ward off anxiety. Although no hard research exists to support them,
beard-growth supplements rely on hair-friendly elements such as vitamin B,
vitamin E, biotin and beta carotene to promote facial hair growth -- according
to supplement manufacturers, some users may see results within a week.
