# 2182 Hold on Fast
Question
One that is getting married on Lag Baomer late afternoon, does one have to fast the traditional fast of chasan kallah if one finds it difficult?
Answer
Mishna Berura (573: 7) quotes different opinions if one should fast in a day when when no tachanun is recited. Mateh Efraim (625: 2), Daas Torah (573) and others are lenient when in need.
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that if possible they should fast half a day, and after they daven mincha, they may break their fast.
