There is a reception scheduled for 7pm, and the chupa is due to take place after sunset at 8.15. Some may find it incongruous that most men will be dancing to music at a wedding while exhibiting signs of aveilus on their faces.<br>

<br></div><div>We did not have any "incongruousness" and no one seemed to be doing too much mourning instead of rejoicing before the chassan and kallah. I do not remember the sources that were quoted in support of having a wedding on Lag B'Omer along with the customary one-man band [the wedding was in Yerushalayim] but others who are wiser than I can certainly supply them I am sure, because they do exist. </div>
