miriamnechama, what's so different about a Chabad chuppah? I've been to different ones and don't remember anything that different. |
I've been to maybe 3 or 4 non Lubavitch chassunas (mainstream Orthodox I'd imagine) and it was very different:
1. no Alter Rebbe's niggun (in fact the tune they use when the chossen comes to bedek the kallah was very lively.)
2. the unterfiren were set up differently. chossen was walked to the chuppah with his parents and kallah with her parents (as opposed to the women going with the kallah and the men with the chossen)
3. the chuppah was inside
4. the chuppah was pre set up. and there were seats on one side for men and one side for women and everything was very neat and organized
5. various personages walked down the aisle
6. no mitzvah tantz. oh wait. We don't do that either.  |
Actually, every chasidish chasuna is like the Lubavitch one you describe. Except with a mitzva tantz . And the nigun is specific to each chasidus.
Actually, the non-chasidish chasunas I've gone to were similar to what you described, except some WERE outdoors, but the "audience'' was inside on chairs. |
Well at Litvish weddings in EY, 2,3,4, and 5 are not done either. So maybe it's nothing to do with Litvish/Chassidish/ Lubavitch anyway.

I think the chuppah of one of the Rebbeim was that way, maybe the Frierdiker Rebbe?.

That's interesting. I was going to ask which Niggunim the other types of Chassidim walk down to, but then I realized that I probably don't even know them, do I?
I've been to a few Litvishe chuppahs, and the only major difference was that it was inside, sometimes under and open skylight, sometimes not. Of course they don't walk down to the Alter Rebbe's Niggun but I didn't think that and other things were a major difference. That's why I was surprised to hear it was so different from miriamnechama's point of view.

Right. He needs a wedding suit. Do you wear regular Shabblos clothes to a wedding, or do you have 1 or 2 fancier outfits put aside?

remember the good ol' days when everyone wore long dresses ...
hey we had a mix of minhagim - lebedik by kabolas ponim with own parents walking in before - the alter rebbes niggun to the chuppah - with dads walking down chosson and moms walking down kallah ...
the one thing I did not know is that we were gonna sit together and the lubavitchers separated the tables - go figure ... but the chossons friends dance for the chosson & kallah while they sit together in the men's section ... so another variance

I don't think I know that one, Gamzu. But I just thought of another question. If this style chuppah is not exclusive to Lubavitch (besides the Alter Rebbe's Niggun) but is a typical Chassidish chuppah, MiriamNechama, didn't you say you were Breslov? Are Breslov chuppahs not typical Chassidish?

of course, because Yehoshua had no derech (sic) to oppose, nor did Ramban or Rashi since they weren't controversial

It means that the orig. quote had a mistake in it, which is not being corrected.

Sic is from Latin, "so". In this case, it means "[it was written] that way". It often shows the person who writes disagree or think the word is not correct.
Ah, memories from Latin classes

According to what I read:
Yehoshua had no derech (sic)
Motek either quoted the word derech and finds it incorrect, or the sentence "Yehoshua had no derech" and disagrees.
I feel teacherish lol
