One Month One Week One Day

It is a well known fact that there are fundamental differences between men and women. And I think there is no other event that better exemplifies these differences than a wedding.

While, there are ways that we are very similar - we both are very excited about getting married:

Still, in general, in all of the wild activity that is the preparation for something as momentous as a wedding, I have decided that weddings bring out the crazy in people. This often manifests in some ways that are highly entertaining, and sometimes in others that are less positive.

Another area where these differences seem quite apparent is the ever burning question: What should I do with my hair??

So, I decided I would try out a couple styles before making the final decision that will ultimately go down in history on The Big Day.

I did a little research online to see what sort of possibilities are out there. There were definitely some eye-catchingly memorable ones:

and from another angle:

Here's a close up of the little sparkle to jazz it up:
