In fact, the Yafeh Lelev 573 adds that the Hari Besamim thinks that it is forbidden to fast since it is a day of celebration for the couple, comparable to a Yom Tov. However, the Ben Ish Chai (Shoftim no. 13) writes that in Baghdad chatanim had the minhag to fast on the day of the wedding. Rav Ovadia Yosef (Yabia Omer EH 3:9 and Yechave Daat 4:61) discourages the minhag. | # Some have the custom for the bride and groom to fast on the day of their wedding.<Ref> Rama EH 61:1, Sh"t Maharam Mintz 109, Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 146:1, see [http://www.torahmusings.com/2013/12/fasting-on-ones-wedding-day/ TorahMusings] for potential explanations of this practice, [http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/481616/jewish/Fasting-On-the-Wedding-Day.htm chabad.org] </ref> However, most sephardim don't have this custom.<ref> The Chida (Birkei Yosef 470:2) writes that the Sephardic minhag is not to fast the day of the wedding.
