IT IS the wedding that threatens to divorce Ivan Maric from his famous mullet.
Maric popped the question to girlfriend Erin Howard earlier this year, and her acceptance thrilled friends and family.
But, as the couple goes about planning next year's wedding, Maric's nationally-acclaimed hair faces a nervous build-up.
"My fiancee said when we got engaged this year that I'll probably have to cut it off for the wedding," Maric said.
"And I was like, 'Yeah'.
"But then, as the months have gone on, she's become not too fussed. And I'm not either. So we'll see what happens and how I'm feeling at the time."
If the Richmond ruckman conforms to wedding custom he will concede defeat to Adelaide spearhead Taylor Walker, after the former teammates made a bet over who could keep their mullet the longest.
Maric's flowing locks have grown much bigger than a friendly wager.
Known as "The People's Mullet", it has more than 10,000 "Likes" on Facebook, hundreds of followers on Twitter and has sparked several online appreciation threads.
Such is its cult following that it's hard to imagine Maric running out in the yellow and black without it.
"My old man tells me I'm not allowed to cut it off. He's like, 'Leave it, leave it, leave it', because he's probably a bit superstitious about the whole thing," Maric said.
"But I try not to believe in those sorts of things. I could play without it, but it would be a foreign feeling, I suppose, cutting it off and playing."
