Should a Groom Exempt from Tachanun
Question
Should a groom pray in the synagogue and exempt the congregation from saying Tachanun?
Answer
The Mishnah Berurah wrote that it is better for a groom not to pray in the synagogue so that the congregation can say Tachanun. However, the custom is not like this, and he prays in the synagogue and exempts the congregation.
