Haircut, Shave, Wedding On Erev Shabbos When Lag BaOmer Is Motza'ei Shabbos
There is a machlokes between the Mahari Veil and the Maharil, when 
Lag BaOmer falls out Motza'ei Shabbos, if it is permissible to shave 
on Erev Shabbos, L'Kavod Shabbos.  The Rema (OC 493:2) paskens that 
it is mutar to take a haircut and shave in this case.

What about a wedding on Erev Shabbos?  The She'arim Metzuyanim 
BaHalacha (120:14) brings from Rav Shloime Kluger that he was matir 
in a Shaas HaDchak, when the chasuna was set for Sunday Lag BaOmer 
but they were worried about a Chupas Nidda, which has its own 
halachic complications.  Therefore since we allow haircuts L'Kavod 
Shabbos, he allowed the chasuna to be moved up to Erev Shabbos as 
well, because of Oneg Shabbos.

The Divrei Malkiel also is only matir B'Shaas HaDchak.  Even though 
haircuts are permitted L'Chatchila, the Taz (493:2) holds that 
haircuts are more lenient than weddings.  Therefore, says the Divrei 
Malkiel, one should not make a wedding, L'Chatchila, on the Friday before.
