Your Grooming
Everyone knows that you shouldn't get a haircut the day before a big event -- and especially not on the day before your wedding. You know how long it takes your hair to settle down before it gets in its groove -- for most men, it's about two weeks between the cut and the look.
If you want to go all-out and try a manicure or pedicure, this is as good a time as any to treat yourself to one or both. Beware trying out a new facial scrub or mask-type treatment in the days before the wedding, though; a bad reaction could leave you swollen and embarrassed.
Wedding Eve
You've picked up your tux, you've practiced the ceremony, you've had the rehearsal dinner ... now what? You know it's not a good idea to get loaded on the night before your wedding, even if you're feeling extremely nervous -- or giddy. Still, you've got eighteen hours to fill between now and the ceremony.
Take the time to touch base with your fiancee tonight. As the wedding countdown draws to a close, the two of you may find that you've been so crazy busy, you've hardly had time to speak to each other. Now's the time to make sure both of you are completely physically prepared for the big day, and for the honeymoon. For example, has she gone to the drugstore and picked up all of her necessities? Have you? Time's a-wastin'. Before you know it, you'll be on the plane to Hawaii, you'll remember that you're out of contact solution, and you'll curse yourself.
