THE BAIS HAVAAD HALACHA JOURNAL: Volume 5776 Issue XXXVI Nasso WEDDING WISHES Who is entitled to choose the Mesader Kiddushin?
Mazel tov! After weeks of sleepless nights and an inordinate amount of phone calls, Ari, the “best boy” in his Yeshiva, and Leah, the “biggest Baalas Chesed” in her community, have decided to get engaged. Now, after exchanging gifts and choosing a wedding date, hall, photographer, band, florist, printer, and of course – color scheme, they are ready for the truly important question: Who will be Mesader Kiddushin (officiate) at the wedding? The Kallah comes from an illustrious family, and her maternal grandfather is a well-known Rav, while the Chassan learns in a prestigious Yeshiva and his Rosh Yeshivah is also a Talmid Chacham of note. So who gets to choose?
In fact, this question has been a topic of discussion – and debate – for many, many years.
