Am I the only person that shaves these days?

Am I the only person that shaves these days?
I've noticed a trend in recent years where blokes regularly don't bother shaving. I'd assumed until recently it's a laziness/trendy/cool thing. I'm not talking about people with beards either, just seemingly constant stubble.
I consider shaving as part of my morning routine, along with showering, brushing my teeth etc. I feel scruffy all day if I don't shave. I also rip my girlfriend's face to shreds if I don't shave.
However, I was at two weddings this summer where neither groom bothered shaving. Personally, I think that is appalling. Why bother spending money hiring a morning suit etc. and then not shaving? Neither of the grooms looked "uber cool" or anything with stubble either. Several ushers at both weddings didn't shave either (very rude IMO).
Surely, if there was one day in your entire life that you shaved, it would be your wedding day.
Am I weird, or is everyone but me a soap dodging scruffy stubblehead these days?
Would these same stubbleheads be bothered if their other half stopped shaving her legs/pits?

Hate not shaving, if I leave it more than a couple of days my face just feels itchy and dirty.
Also, my wife complains ( but not about her face getting scratched ) which is enough reason.
I think stubble can look OK, but dont know what the sudden recent vogue for beards is, particularly scruffy ones that just look like someone cant afford a razor.
Remember though as Sid The Sexist said - 'just because you've got hair all over your face doesn't mean you can talk like a c!!t'

I shave once or twice a month. Rest of the time I use clippers to have constant stubble. I look far better with stubble than clean shaven. I shave my ***** more often than my face but that's not what you're refering to is it

I shave once a week (usually sunday night). I don't like the feeling of being completely clean shaven. My "beard" grows really slowly anyway, it takes 2 weeks to grow a semi-decent goatee and even then it looks like the cat could lick it off. I look forward to puberty

I shave once or twice a week max. Got bored having to shave every day. No fanny on our office, so no need to impress anyone. GF doesn't mind.

I shave daily when working but tends to be every other day when I'm not working (as at the moment). IMHO there are very few people that can really carry off 'designer stubble' and I'm not one of them, and not shaving on your wedding day (or somebody else's is just plain rude.

I shave every day, did once leave it for a couple of days or so once but found it was more comfortable to shave in the end and I felt that it was smarter to do so anyway.
I actually think it looks pretty scruffy to have that "manly" stubble look and it just looks like laziness rather than anything much else.

daily for me too - hate stubble.
Just getting over the flu at the moment - haven't shaved all week TOTALLY rank imho.
Shaved today, and also feel MUCH better now (placebo effect?)
