[Avodah] To Stand or Not to Stand for a Chosson and Kallah

[Micha Berger]

REMT and RSM also noted here a while back that originally people sat
when the chasan and kallah came in. Admittedly, we can view that as a
transition period, not long enough to define a minhag. I don't know.

However, li nir'eh that now that it's de rigeur, and people associated it
with "chasan domeh lemelekh", refraining from standing makes a statement,
not joining in on the hanhagah. It seems to be a trivial way to contribute
to simchas chasan vekallah. So why not?

Tir'u baTov!
