I had a beard when I met my wife and during the year or so we dated before getting married. A few days before the wedding I decided to shave everything off except a mustache, because I wanted the wedding pictures to better reflect how I knew I would look most of my life. My wife saw me that evening for the first time without a beard. I hadn't told her what I'd done. Fortunately, she still wanted to marry me.
P.S. -- It wasn't too many months before the mustache was gone too.
