AITA for refusing to shave my beard for a wedding?




My cousin is getting this married this week and I am one his groomsmen. His fiancée put everyone, including their mothers, in a group chat. His fiancée’s mom says that she wants the groomsmen to shave their faces. We all have beards but 4 out of 5 of us are bald through genetics. My beard is part of my style and it’s the only hair that I can grow so I am proud of it. She’s says it’s only hair so it’ll grow back. To me it’s more than “just hair”, so I told them that I would shave my beard if she shaved her head because after all, it’s “just hair”. AITA for refusing to shave my beard?

Edit: The bride is totally cool with beards. It’s her mother that wants us to be clean shaven.
