# A bride and groom shouldn't go outside alone the week after their wedding.<ref> The Gemara (Brachot 54b) states that a bride and groom require a guard from dangerous demons. Rashi (s.v. chatan) explains that the reason that they are at risk is because the demon is jealous of them. The Rama E"H 64:1 codifies this as halacha that a bride and groom shouldn't go outside alone the week after their wedding. The Kitzur S"A 149:!2 agrees. The Bikkurei Yacov 669:13 offers another reason for this halacha. He says that a bride and groom are compared to a king and queen. Since a king and queen don't go outside alone, a bride and groom shouldn't go outside alone. </ref> | # A bride and groom shouldn't go outside alone the week after their wedding.<ref> The Gemara (Brachot 54b) states that a bride and groom require a guard from dangerous demons.
