The Rashba in Mishmeres Habayis 7:2 says that there was a practice to have a special simcha on the Shabbos a week prior to the week before one’s wedding. Nitey Gavriel (Hilchos Nisuin) quotes the Chidushey Harim who says that the entire week before the wedding is encapsulated in the Shabbos preceding the wedding. Therefore, the simcha of the following week is encapsulated in the Shabbos before.</ref> before his wedding, a chasan has an obligation to receive an Aliyah.<ref>Livush OC 282:7, Magen Avraham OC 282:18. <br /> | ||
Medrash Talpiyos (Anaf Chasan Vikallah) says that the reason that he gets an Aliyah on the Shabbos before his wedding is because chasan domeh limelech – a chasan is compared to a king and a king must have two sifrey torah on him, so too a chasan gets one Aliyah before and one Aliyah after his wedding. Rav Shlomo Zalman in Halichos Shlomo (Moadim 2:251-252) offers an idea based on the gemara nidarim, which says that the reason that the beis hamikdash was destroyed is because we did not have proper kavod hatorah. So, the greatest way to give proper kavod hatorah is to learn right before an important time in our lives. Therefore, prior to his wedding the chasan gets an Aliyah and starts his simcha off with torah. Sifrey Chabad say that it is siman tov to raising children who will learn Torah and lift up the world. Sefer Hamatamim quoted in Nitey Gavriel (hilchos Nisuin) writes that the reason that a chasan gets one Aliyah before and after his wedding is in order that he appreciates the difference between the torah learned before and after his wedding. Chazal tell us that hasharuy bilo isha sharuy bilo Torah. The torah has new meaning when he is married.<br /> | Medrash Talpiyos (Anaf Chasan Vikallah) says that the reason that he gets an Aliyah on the Shabbos before his wedding is because chasan domeh limelech – a chasan is compared to a king and a king must have two sifrey torah on him, so too a chasan gets one Aliyah before and one Aliyah after his wedding.

The chasan’s chiyuv to get an Aliyah comes before any other chiyuv to get an Aliyah, except for a bar mitzvah boy. However, if chasan is not a member of the shul, then the bar mitzva boy gets the Aliyah. If both a chasan and a bar mitzvah boy are in the shul, then the best thing to do in such a case is to have both of them get an Aliyah. If, for some reason, that is not possible, you should decide, via a lottery, who gets the Aliyah.<br /> | The chasan’s chiyuv to get an Aliyah comes before any other chiyuv to get an Aliyah, except for a bar mitzvah boy.
