Question I
was wondering whether you could advise me as to the tradition of who stands with
the bride and groom under the chuppah. Is it parents and siblings, parents alone
etc.? Are there any traditions associated with this? Answer There is an excellent book detailing
all the marriage and wedding customs, that I highly recommend:
Thank you very much
for your advice.

by Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan.
He says that the custom is for parents to stand
under the chuppah, and that other members of the wedding party may be present
under the chuppah as well.
If this pertains to you, Mazal Tov!
