Question
A groom getting married within the year of his mother's passing, can his brothers participate in the wedding as usual?
Answer
The brothers and sisters of the groom and bride, within the twelve months of mourning, can be present at the wedding if their absence would cause great distress to the groom. They can only be present if they serve a little at the beginning of the wedding, such as serving food or welcoming guests and seating them. They may wear Shabbat clothes, but not Yom Tov or special clothes. They should not dance at the wedding.
