Strange Request for a wedding?

Hi all,
I've just had a wedding invitation saying that men aren't allowed to have facial hair for the wedding!! I though this was really bizarre, but is this something that is normally asked?! I've only been to a couple of weddings so not sure if this is some major tradition or something? personally, I was horrified at the request but maybe i'm just not familar with this request!!
is this normal?!

Seriously, if they're not religious, then it sounds like a Bridezilla type thing going on."If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur." -- Red Adair0

Moomin, I have heard of some weird requests on wedding invites, but no facial hair? Really? Is this serious? What about men who have had beards for years, are they expected to shave it off? It is asking a bit much really! Are they hiring beard police on the church door?The best thing you can spend on a child, is time.0

Or it could be a way of filtering out those that you don't really like but "have" to invite??? lol0

nope, not albanian, nothing religious either! my boyfriend has a beard, and the grooms dad has a full beard aswell so not sure what will happen there!!!
I might get a stick on mousache
think it might be a bit of a bridezilla!! i wouldn't have even thought that Wills and Kate would have made such a request!!

I'd have to ask why personally. Unless it's some cultural thing (which it doesn't seem to be) it's an absolutely outrageous request."Growth for growth's sake is the ideology of the cancer cell" - Edward Abbey.0

That's just plain rude IMO.
