Yes, this is Wade. Mr. Mutton Chop. And he's proud of it, so don't offer him any encouragement or ribbing--or this behavior will continue.
It all started with the long-time teasing at work (that he's Amish or something, 'cause y'know Amish and Christian--same diff, right?) Then there was a dare...and here we are. The following is the visual progression...So first, he grew out his beard for a month. Looks pretty good, I thought. Just a bit prickly for smooching. No matter, the end was in sight--or so I thought. (BTW, yes, Wade and Nathan are making cookies here. What a man I've got.)
Next we have the gotee. Also looks nice. But still prickly, so still not much kissin' goin' on.
So...most recently he was in the bathroom, supposedly shaving the whole thing off--finally...but came out with this instead. Seriously. I made my opinion clear on this one. Yuck-O, buster. 1970's cowby. Wife not like. This encouraged him all the more. He promised me only a day of it to show the guys at work. But he got such a rise out of his buddies that he decided he needed to keep it for another week--to "wear" to the wedding we went to yesterday, and to show his mom. Seriously.
And here I sit...waiting. He asked me to post these pictures by the way. It was either that, or he was going to hijack my Facebook again and do some posting of his own--right alongside his gory knee-gouge photos. Alright, I gave in. I do love my man.
P.S. I need to add a correction. I've been informed that this look is actually called "handlebars." (I'm not sure that's any better.) I will gladly stand corrected. "Mutton Chop" is what Wade and his co-workers have been calling it. I'm not up on these things.

I'm more of a clean-shaven kind of girl myself, though I must say, the bottom picture is very intriguing. But I agree, very prickly for kissin'. What do the girls think?
No, this look is called 1970's NASTY! Eeewww! The only way it could be worse would be if his chops came down and joined his mustache at some point. My prayers are with you, Kara.
Be thankful he doesn't wear mutton chops--although those are in style. Too Elvis for me.
Sorry Kara, but I think he looks pretty good in the goatee.
I wouldn't have been able to pick him out of a crowd in the first pix tho.
Oh my goodness! You told me about this, but I NEVER pictured it to look this bad. Wade needs help! (Although I must say I think the beard looked good.)
Thanks for the support, ladies. Though I'm not sure I should let Wade read these comments--will egg him on all the more.
So sorry Kara. I can totally relate. Aaron went through a phase like this and grew his hair long complete with a beard. It looked good for a short while and then ...not so much. I was pretty much embarrassed to be seen with him. This was literally at the top of my prayer requests and thank God he finally went back to his old self. You'll have to hide this comment from Wade too : )
Wade needs his own blog and/or facebook profile to show off his handlebars and open wounds! None of this internet wife-mooching.
I agree with Joey. No more wife-mooching; Wade needs his own blog or FB page!
I agree with Joey & Bria. I want wife-smooching, not wife-mooching.
Vonda S.--good to hear from you! Thanks for the sympathy.
Lack of smooching aside...Wade looks Heelarious and I had such a good laugh! Thanks, Urban Cowboy.
A rhinestone cowboy! I love it!
I personally am going to encourage the trend...
PW, hey where's your loyalty?
