Question
Is there a reason to hold a meal in honor of a divorced couple who remarried? If so, do we recite part of the Sheva Brachot and add 'she-ha-simcha be-me'ono' in the zimun?
Answer
Shalom u'vracha
After the day of the chuppah, they do not have the status of bride and groom.
Therefore, the Sheva Brachot are not recited, nor is 'she-ha-simcha be-me'ono' said.
There is no halachic requirement to hold a meal for them. However, if you see that there is a need for it, you may do so, but not as a celebration of bride and groom, rather as an act of kindness.
