[Avodah] Praising the Bride

[Cantor Wolberg via Avodah]

Along the lines of what Zev writes, Rav Berkovitz shlita told us that
pshat in Beis Hillel is that in the grooms eyes she is surely "na'ah
vachasudah”.

How can you say that when in days of old, the groom didn’t even 
see her bride until the wedding? Sure, it sounds nice to say that
every bride is beautiful. Why not also say that every groom is 
handsome? IMHO this is not reality. Little do we know how many
grooms were quite disappointed with what they saw. They weren’t
marrying the wedding gown.
