Getting Married as the Leaves are Changing

Fall makes for a beautiful season to get married in. Many marriages are planned for the months where it's not too hot, not too cold and the leaves are changing. A trip to the spa is practically mandatory for a bride before she walks down the aisle. But what about the groom? More and more grooms are trading in strippers for manicures. Salons and spas are offering prenuptial primping for men such as massages, facials, waxing, and pedicures only with male theming. Mini-golf, darts, board games, and drinks. As opposed to bachelor parties, the boys at least look better coming out than going in -- and spa owners say it does wonders for the pre-vow jitters. But it's also likely that many go in with visions of pink nail polish dancing in their heads. But, just ask them how they feel about the deal after they've been treated to a massage, hot shave and facial, and such anxieties seem to have slipped away. A man will look good for his wedding day while still having some quality time with the guys with an abundance of stiff drinks, cigars and friendly verbal abuse.
