Question

Is there any reason to fast on the day of ones wedding?

Answer

Answered by Aaron Abadi

It's probably better not to. People come to their wedding starving and about to faint. It's some sort of Minhag, but it has to be within reason. The whole purpose is to do Teshuva (Repentance). Fasting alone is useless. Do the Teshuva and drop the fasting. AA
