Does a groom tear his clothes at the Western Wall during the seven days of wedding blessings?
Answer
During the seven days of wedding blessings, there is no need to tear clothes.
Source
Shulchan Aruch, Yoreh De'ah, Laws of Mourning, Siman 382, writes regarding mourning that for a groom, since the chuppah applies to him, it is like a festival. And if during Chol HaMoed one does not tear at the Wall, similarly, a groom during the seven days of blessings does not need to do so.
