Do I rock the glasses or the contacts?

Glasses or contacts, contacts or glasses. Yes, that’s right. One of the questions that grooms (yeah, and brides, too) have had to choose between for all … er, since glasses and contacts were even an option, I guess, when it comes to the big day. Why bother even having this discussion? Well, pictures, of course.

I hadn’t really thought much of this until this morning, when I was taking some head shots for work, and they asked if I’d like to take some without my glasses - just to take a little bit of reflection out of the shots. Huh. So here lies the rub - I’m typically pretty recognizable in my glasses (that’s right - they’re Pumas), but if I really had my druthers I wouldn’t need them to help me see. I definitely dig my contact lenses more (especially that they let me rock sunglasses), I’m just a slacker most days and don’t feel like putting them in, or am just having a typical guy morning and rushing through it all. What do you do when that happens?

I’m probably already decided on this, and I’m 99% sure I’ll go with the contact lenses, because it’s just one less thing for me to have to deal with cleaning or dropping or breaking or whatever. But that has me thinking, since most of my friends and family see me with glasses most days, if they’ll look at our wedding photos and be like “dude, where are your glasses?” It’s a legit question, and it’s not like I *never* wear contacts, but am I just faking it for the photos or is it an up-and-up decision?
