Two of my bridesmaids recently asked me, “Would you mind if I cut my hair?”. I was a little taken aback before responding, “Of course not! Why would I mind? Honestly, the last of my worries is the length of your hair.”

Apparently, and I’ve heard this from multiple people, brides are usually not very enthusiastic about their bridesmaids cutting their hair before the wedding. To be honest, I don’t believe that your girlfriends’ hair has anything to do with how much better or worse your wedding is going to be. I want my girlfriends to look lovely standing there with me, and I could really care less how long their hair is. My MOH eventually got her hair cut in a really cute bob (she’s never had it that short before, and it looks absolutely fabulous) and my BM was pretty close to getting hers cut as well, but then decided to wait until after the wedding. The main reason? She found out that I am going to chop all my hair off right after I say “I do”, and thought it might be fun to go together!

I am SO excited about cutting my hair that I can’t stop thinking about it or talking about it. Sometimes I feel as if I’m more excited about getting rid of it than I am about getting married. Currently, my hair is SUPER long and just so gross. It comes all the way down to my mid to lower back. The last time I had short hair, I brought a picture of Jessica Alba with me and requested her adorable haircut:

Of course, it didn’t look exactly like that and there was no way in hell I would look as hot as she does, but the haircut did look ok on me and some friends admitted that they were nervous about my decision but ended up liking the cut. That was more than a couple of years ago and with the exception of a few slight trims, I haven’t cut it since. I’m dying to get rid of it all!

For years I’ve had this fascination with super short pixie hair, but I was way too scared to get it done. I guess now that I’m getting married, I’m feeling a little fearless and asked Mr. Martini what he thought about me getting a super duper short pixie cut. Surprisingly, he didn’t freak out and instead just said, “Sure, why not? Show me a picture!”

And so I searched for a picture and found THE cut I want.

I know, it’s crazy! and I have absolutely no idea if I can pull this haircut off, or if it will even look good on me, but with the OK from Mr. Martini, what have I got to lose? I wouldn’t keep it this short forever of course, eventually I will grow it out to a tousled bob. But hair is hair, and it will always grow back, right? When people tell me, “only five months left until your wedding!” I just think, “Only five more months until I get to cut my hair!”

Are you looking forward to your post-wedding chop?
