states the reason for standing given by R' YBS is the on the way to do a mitzvah
(bikkurim) reason. The melech only applies once he's under the
chuppah (and that's why R' YBS waited until then to put the ashes
on the head of the chatan (that's when he becomes one)). but still stood
when the chatan was walking down.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
