Brawny, stout, or burly: larger grooms look HOT

Our offbeat grooms come in all shapes and sizes and we wouldn’t want it any other way. We decided to dig into our archives for groom (and androgynous) styles that can work on all body types. Note: not all of these men are above average size, but they are all wearing styles that are big and tall-friendly.

A choreographed gay first dance

We’ll be featuring Ruben and Joaquin’s wedding next week, but we couldn’t wait to show you their amazingly fun hip hop first dance. They start out with Marvin Gaye’s “You’re All I Need to Get By,” but transitioned into the Mary J. Blige and Method Man version! It’s too cute to miss.

We found some good examples from the Offbeat Bride archives, a couple of YouTube gurus, and of course, some celebrities rockin’ the makeup.
