[Avodah] standing for chasan and kallah

[Elazar M. Teitz]

     In response to my comment,

<<No, because the gathering is one of simcha shel mitzva, even if it

     Apparently, I was not clear. The minhag Yerushalayim I cited, which required the chasan's presence for not saying tachanun, is not for a chasuna minyan; it is for a minyan in shul (usually Shacharis, since Mincha is generally davened at the wedding) on the day on which the wedding will subsequently take place.
