a newlywed, within one month of their wedding, also doesn't have the prohibition of seecha on 9 Av. but not for the whole first year of marriage! unfortunately I found this out AFTER tisha b'av of our shana rishona (we got married a few days before 17 Tammuz, so this would have applied to me!)
also, if you get married the day before or after a fast day you may not have to fast on your wedding day. but don't quote me on that Wink

seecha, with a chof (not a ches) is annointing- one of the five prohibitions of Tisha B'Av. sorry, for the confusion 8)

ah, of course!

but what do you mean about unfortunately finding out later? what kind of anointing would you have wanted to do?

and I never understood the halacha about the kalla being allowed to wash her face on Yom Kippur - washing your face with water doesn't make your face look different (unless it was dirty) so why is this impt. for a kalla?

My makeup never lasts until Shabboss morning Crying

On Tisha Be'av I was in no mood to put on makeup, too tired and uch... My focus was not on how I looked at all. I can understand a new kallah wanting to put on makeup. I remember how it took time getting used to a shaitel, I can empathize with wanting to look her best.
