Q. Hon. Rabino Larga Vida. I was invited to a wedding last Thursday night which corresponded to the 20th day of Sivan. Since they are good friend, I did attend. Some of my very frum friends told me that we don’t celebrate weddings on that day. Did I do something incorrect? Actually the wedding was performed by an Orthodox Rabbi and most of the attendants were also frum. What is the real Halacha?
A. We once wrote that Horav Shlomo Miller's Shlit'a opinion is that today the twentieth of Sivan is not a well known occasion at all and the minhag for most is not to fast or say selichos. Therefore, one may attend the wedding of a close friend and comply with the biblical mitzvah of rejoicing with the chosson and kallah.
