These rules seem so arbitrary.
Who decided 5 was the right size of the band and not 4? Why 400 and not 300? What if the chasson and Kallah are each the youngest with many married siblings who each take up more seats?
you're reminding me from kollel
they would give shmiras hazmanim for those that showed up before 9:59:59
there where those that complained I lose shmiras hazmanim in one second? it doesn't make sense
rosh hakollel said the original start time was 9:45 and there were those that complained that you need a couple minutes to settle, so he agreed on 10:00, how much longer do you want me to push it there gotta be that second that makes the difference
