[Avodah] standing for chasan and kallah

[Rich, Joel]

"It is good to be careful that a chasan not attend shul during the
wedding week, because he would prevent the people from reciting Tachanun
... (Mishnah Berurah 131:26)" This is from Rabbi Yisroel Reisman's
Forward to Rabbi R. Slater's book Tachanun.

	============================================== 

	Which I've never understood especially since many times it seems
minyanim are meikil not to say tachanun at the drop of a hat but even
without that, why should we ask the chatan to give up tfila btzibbur for
our convenience? Why is it differ from the baal habrit etc?  BTW I think
my 1st point may explain R'DC's experience "Yet in my current shul,
every time the situation comes up, there is a "shouting match" (of the
friendly sort, of course) about what to do.", it is the custom however
that the sandek and the baal brit don't say tachanun at mincha, I'm not
sure why it doesn't carry over to the minyan.
