Setting the Wedding Date - The Day After Yahrzeit
Question
The yahrzeit of my grandmother falls on the 17th of Tevet. Is there any halachic impediment to having a wedding on the night of the 18th of Tevet (the day after the yahrzeit), since the nights in Tevet are long, and the reception would start after the yahrzeit ends (the seventh yahrzeit)?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
There is no problem with this.
The night belongs to the following day.
