My first date with my husband was on Isru Chag Pesach. His family’s minhag is to keep “the first half” of sefirah. He asked his Rav, who told him that which part of sefirah you keep is not based on minhagim; you can keep whatever works for you that particular year. He shaved until Rosh Chodesh that year.
The last few dates he had a beard, it didn’t bother me. He shaved for the L’chaim, which was on Lag Ba’omer. He had a beard by the vort, which was a few days later. That bothered me a bit because of all the pictures we took for posterity.
