pghmyn Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 My wedding is this Saturday, and we are buttoning up a few loose ends. Everything was going smooth. Until this week.I was working in the lab when a series of events led me to having my nasal bridge bone visible through a large gash. Now I have 6 stitches and a handful of other superficial cuts across my nose and eye. Really going to make for great pictures if the stitches can't come out the morning before the wedding. That old saying just came true for me. Bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pghmyn Posted August 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Thanks guys. Nurses said no to makeup on the cut because of the location. Any infection in this area would be bad news.I have a research position in my university's structural durability lab. Lots of heavy equipment. Smashed my finger with lots of blood involved. This caused me to eventually lose my balance and my face met a 10 ton crane hook and a plywood mount.Not the most manly way to get these wounds. But painful nonetheless.

davewyo Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Well, your nose may not be structurally durable but at least it's self healing.Skip the make-up and go straight to tattoos. You and your bride could both sport Frankenstein's Monster tats on your faces. You could use stitches stickers, but those would show less commitment.

wtnhighlander Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Make it a costume theme wedding, and go as the invisible man, elephant Man, or Iron man. Stumbled into a body art/painting fan site once, and saw an "elephant man". Some things are better left unseen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick S Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Wow, sorry to hear of the mishap, but I can relate. Kev is right, the stories will stay with you for a long time. I don't know though, I've had lots and lots of stitches from less manly things than a 10 ton crane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
