Question
His father is sitting shiva for his grandfather, and his brother's wedding is supposed to take place during the shiva. Is it permissible for the groom and the groom's brother to wear Shabbat clothes at the wedding?
Answer
If the wedding takes place not in the city where the father is sitting shiva, everyone is permitted by law to wear Shabbat clothes. However, if the wedding takes place in the same city, the groom can certainly wear them, and his relatives may wear Shabbat clothes and participate in the wedding, but they should not dance or eat there.
