Question
What is the source for parents accompanying their children to the chuppah?
Answer
Hello,
I asked our teacher, the Gaon, Rabbi A. Fried, shlita, and he provided several sources for accompanying the bride and groom. These are mentioned later in the sources.
It should be noted that in all places, there is no explicit source that this is the role of the parents, except in the Zohar.
Source
The source is in Rokeach, Siman 353, and there is also a source in Zohar, Bereshit, page 49.
See also Berachot 61 and Yoreh De'ah 90.
